Not for the us military. The simple fact is unmanned aircraft kick the living daylights out of manned aircraft. PERIOD. There is no "gut feeling" when one can be swatted out of the sky from a laser or particle beam cannon or barrage of railgun rounds from ranges almost beyond standard radar and far beyond stealth detectable range.

Oh and BTW if you manage to kill that toaster bastard trying to fry you with a laser there will be 100 on the way to fry you. They will pull maneuvers no human could possibly withstand and they will fry you before you know it.

It is only due to conservative thinking that manned aircraft lasted this long.
