A pic of the Global Hawk UAV that returned from the war zone on Monday under its own power. (Iraq to Edwards AFB in CA) - Not transported via C5 or C17....  Notice the mission paintings on the fuselage.  It's actually over 250 missions.... (and I would suppose 25 air medals).

 

That's a long way for a remotely-piloted aircraft.  Think of the technology (and the required quality of the data link to fly it remotely).  Not only that but the pilot controlled it from a nice warm control panel at Edwards AFB.
