There won't be many more fighters that will require a pilot. I know that sounds sacrilegious to all the flyboys out there, but that day is coming.

" I know that sounds sacrilegious to all the flyboys out there, but that day is coming. "

I usta drink with a guy who ran the training program for the Raptor. He was adamant (I didn't believe him at the time) that the F35 would be the LAST manned aircraft purchased by DOD. There were strategic thinkers even then that wanted that distinction to fall on the Raptor.
