Better be careful, they'll teach you to fly in Edwards then send you to a more Sandy/Mountanous region after you get qualified! 8O

If the damn thing is remotely-piloted.... then why the hell can't I just stay at home? This could be the best "work at home" scheme ever devised! :lol:

With some of the things I've seen done with radio controlled models, maybe that's where they ought to be looking.

There's remote control, then there's REMOTE control. I would say Spicewood to the middle east comes under the latter heading. :lol: Also, it takes more than a home PC running Flight Simulator to pull it off. :wink:

I hate to even show my son this post. He wants to do something like this ssssssssooooooooooooo bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaadddddddddd. He is always flying the sim at college.....thank my lucky stars he has 3 1/2 more years of school left. He wanted to be a pilot in the Air Force but his measurement sitting in a chair was too tall to fit inside the canopy. Maybe if Miles stays at his job long enough he can train my son in :D
