Good training would be a good combat flight sim. I haven't seen one in years, though. I'd like to see what Gunship (Microprose) would look like today. I played it on a C-64 and it was a blast.

Microprose made some good flight sims. F15 Strike Eagle was a beast to land, but Spectrum Holobyte's Falcon 4.0 was too hard for me, LOL! You almost had to go to real flight school to learn how to fly that thing.

is it fully autonomous or is it remotely controlled?

i’m fine with remotely controlled... fully autonomous makes me nervous, and i’ve been in the tech sector for 30+ years.

not nervous for cool tech. that’s always fun. nervous for a future of a fully autonomous military, staffed by a handful of people controlled by one dictator in the WH

The Navy plans to show the drone can be refuelled in flight, which would give it even greater range.

Incredible.

This thing is proving to be very capable, affordable, and it seems to actually work.

This is about the time Obama usually cancels or shuts down a program.

You know...The first time one of these things goes into the drink, there’s going to be such a meeting!!!

“Roger, Drone has the ball...”

You know the odds are on my side that this will eventually happen...

I just hope it doesn’t cost someone there life...

I’m all for technology, but the more we start fartin’ around with the direction some are taking this, I feel it is only a matter of time before it does happen...
