While backyard drone inventors enthusiastically set aside hours of free time to pilot their craft, a military operator must maintain attention on a scene where nothing important can happen for days on end. Inevitably, vigilance decreases over time.

Unlike a real flight crew you can work shifts and switch among an unlimited number of pilots, copilots and weapons and ECM operators. You can even have specialist pilots for take off and landings or for air combat.
