There's no such thing as "Reaper Eagle"

That was actually a tribute to my old base where I retired from the USAF, Langley AFB. "Reapers" are Predator drones… I was in a Predator squadron for many-a-year, and "Eagle" is the euphemism for F-15 fighters.

Sorry that I was pulling your leg like that, I was just funnin'.
