Nice. +1 for our side!!!

Here in Vegas I have several riding buddies that are USAF. And a couple of them had jobs flying those types of planes out at Indian Springs (well, the computers and "cockpits" are in NV, the planes are -obviously- in the combat areas on the other side of the planet). One of them told me a cool story about a time he watched his video feed from the bomb he dropped on a target (which was some "high value" guy) all the way to the point he could make out his turban on his head before the bomb detonated and the camera feed went dead.

With that technology, you goto think the PS3 and XBox are the training tools and when the kids joining the military are fully trained.

There are many studies that show video games in general help pilots and infantry both.

You say that like it's a joke.


To the operators.

I'm quickly becoming a believer. Those things are bad-ass. The days of the manned fighter/bomber are numbered.

Luckily for us heavy-drivers, no one wants to ride on a robot plane just yet.
