// March 2nd, 2010 // The plane
Future is clear. And it’s not even close to the romance of fighter jet flying I have in my mind… Interesting Washington Post’s article touches delicate matter and brings up the problem of recognition of drone’s pilots achievements within the Air Force.
I highly recommend reading this one as it illustrates fast transformation of today’s battlefield and substantial influence on traditional fighter jet aviators!
