You see... it wasn't a hijack after all.

Imagine... with UCAV, Goose could be in two places at once.

LOL

Sandman, I agree. It would be, and probably will be one day, a very dangerous machine. Its scary how far things have come.

Imagine... sensor fusion and high speed satellite networking.

The pilots of the future will be wearing VR helmets and for all intents and purposes, they are there in the fight.

With no man in the cockpit, there will be no need for all the systems and subsystems that sustain him. The aircraft will be even smaller and more difficult to see.

But then how does the pilot fulfill the need....the need for speed?

By riding a crotch-rocket next to the runway. Silly.

You have to ride it on the highway... highway to the danger zone.
