On the morning of Sunday, December 4, 2005, the TV news showed us the Predator remote-controlled robot airplane. Those of us who argued that airplanes could not have been flown by remote control on 9-11 probably did not know about Global Hawk and the Predator that uses Global Hawk technology. A pilot can be "Halfway around the world" and still fly a killer drone airplane with a joystick and a computer monitor like a video game. If you are skilled at playing flight simulators then you can probably fly a Predator and hit targets with guided missiles, bombs and gunfire.

Global Hawk Click Here Our own news media now tells us that airplanes CAN be flown by someone using a computer monitor, keyboard and joystick. A full flight simulator may not be needed, nor is it evident in the news video. A 15 year old video game player could pilot one. |
