Didn’t realize drone technology had advanced this far so quickly. They are using up their obsolete F-16’s. Not a good day for the future of manned aircraft. Seems like the PILOT is on the endangered list. This little 4 minute video is really something. A first for a full size jet airplane. Thousands of planes that were grave yard bound, with costs in the hundreds of millions, can now be used as never before. These F-16’s Boeing aircraft have been in the bone yard at Davis-Monahan for 15 years , and now being used as drones.

Re: Drone technology
Under Queen Bee Hillary, there's no telling what the drones will do.

That should scare the Hell out of any and everyone.
Re: Drone technology
I think we will always have manned combat aircraft in some form or fashion.

Back in 1977 we were using/shooting down obsolete F-4s as drones at Holloman AFB, NM. The technology has been out there for some time but far more advanced now.
