+Typhoid Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 the AWACkers in the office enjoyed it too......
+DoctorQuest Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Yeah, OK, but think about it. I have years of experience flying aircraft via a monitor screen. I would be a GREAT predator pilot. Good toon.
Atreides Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I'm sure "REAL" combat aircraft pilot's despise UCAV's. I hate UCAV's as an aircraft enthusiast, real plane's have pilots in the pit. Period.

Period. Same here. I hate UCAVs enough that they make me think nicely of the Super Hornet. Edited February 19, 2008 by JA 37 Viggen
+Typhoid Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 , real plane's have pilots in the pit. and they use tailhooks.....
Atreides Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I'm forced to agree, landing is hard enough at time's but landing on a pitching carrier deck at night for e.g is something else.
+column5 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Same here. I hate UCAVs enough that they make me think nicely of the Super Hornet. I don't hate anything so much that it would make me think nicely of Supa Hoenets.
+Dave Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 and they use tailhooks..... And land on bomb magnets....
+JediMaster Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 From what I've heard the problem has been that piloting UAVs has been a career dead-end. It doesn't impress the higher-ups when it comes to advancement, so you might as well have been peeling corn the whole time of your stationing.
sparkomatic Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 the only thing that impresses the "higher ups" in the post-Modern USAF is themselves...they have vehemently demonstrated that they, the GO-class (can I call them Barons or members of the royalty?), do not have any concern for the plebes/vulgate/heathens/unwashed/non-weapon-school-grads aint hatin' just livin'

sparkomatic Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 even wearing a flight suit, there is a definite class structure
