The pilotless ‘fighter’ would end up recovering at America’s central hub for uncrewed aircraft operations, Creech Air Force Base in southern Nevada, home of the MQ-9 Reaper and RQ-170 Sentinel.
It is the first time that we know of that Fury has been hosted at Creech.
A USAF spokesperson responded to our inquiry about Fury’s arrival at Creech with the following statement:“From July 20-24, 2026, the Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) Experimental Operations Unit (EOU) is conducting an Agile Combat Employment (ACE) exercise at Creech AFB, Nevada.

And this adversary is moving ahead with its own loyal wingman efforts at what appears to be a rapid pace.
