I remember drop night at the Air Force Academy and how a lot of potential pilot grads wanted to avoid fighter aircraft because many of them would eventually become drone pilots. Since then I have talked to a few of these pilots and it has been a wild ride flying many missions in support of ground combat personnel. They also told me the gratitude they get when a grunt tells them they saved his bacon on more than one occasion........oooops that was insensitive of me to use bacon in a sentence. Oooops I did it again so sorry to mention meat in my response.....LOL A great video clip thanks for sharing it!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
SFC Jim Ruether I worked with a Naval Reserve Capt that was heading up the Program for a Bit. Good Man for the Job. I am Concerned about "Burn Out" or More Correctly PTSD even though they are doing things from a World Away they still get to see the Havoc they Create and that Leaves a Mark on the Psych Still.
