“I thought, from reading a few years back, that the Air Force of the future would be unmanned fighters and bombers and ultralight remote controlled vehicles?”

You forgot to mention Cubicles. Lots and lots of Cubicles...

I really don’t think any major unmanned effort would be in a few years. I don’t see why the drones won’t be able to refuel on their own.

But, cubicles would be a lot cheaper than tankers and fighters and bombers with multi-million dollar trained pilots.

But still, drones would not need as much fuel as a piloted plane and we might be building and purchasing much more tankers than would be needed in future operations.
