Power plant: Rotax 914F four-cylinder engine
Thrust: 115 horsepower
Speed: cruise speed around 84 mph (70 knots), up to 135 mph

The Russian MIG-29, 4 decades old fighter
http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/mig29/
The maximum and cruise speed of the aircraft are 2,400km/h (1491 mph) and 1500km/h (932 mph)

Most of the bi-planes from WW1 would outrun the Predator.
