UAV and US Comms Question

[kalos72]

So in my timeline, UAV's like the Predator are available to DoD/CIA forces pre-war.

If I had a UAV that circles central US every day for 14hrs...you could theoretically use that as a relay to help with comms across the US no? Hell a 747 could do the same thing right? A Cessna 208?

Just thinking of the "balloon" idea on technical steroids...
