True, when the aircraft was just a tool and it was the pilot's experience and skill that mattered.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the man to the far left standing behind von Richthofen the famed Erich Loewenhardt?
can't tell ...but I recognize Anthony Fokker sitting next to Richtofen.

Train your kids on teh Xboxorz!

$#@%^ #$#$% @#&$@%!!! Suck all the life out of wanting to fly combat aircraft. Christ. Clear back into the late eighties they started screwing us with these damn drones.


At least the trash haulers will have something to look forward to. Until someone figures out how to automate that, too. The ****ers.

Actually, isn't the majority of commercial aircraft semi-automated already?

I'd think it wouldn't be that hard to automate heavy lifting aircraft over routine routes for military.

Wait until they become self aware. In a panic, we'll try to pull the plug...

Some interesting tidbits for all the doubters of remote controlled A/A out there...

Video of a Dogfight between a Iraqi MiG and a USAF Predator armed with Stingers. Unfortunately the Predator lost. Quite possably the first Air to Air with an unmanned combat aircraft.

The DASH drone a shipborne ASW heli-drone controlled by a station the size of a kitchen oven plus a radio and rated to carry either torpedoes or nuclear bombs... developed back in 1960... the DASH is still in service as a target drone.

The SSM-N-8 Regulus a nuclear cruise missile capable of being remote flown by ship, submarine or fighter aircraft (yes fighter aircraft) and could even land to abort its mission. Developed in 1955!

Do I need to mention the TACTOM and SLAM-ER, with their man-in-the-loop control system?
