At the rate things are going these days, that's not far from the trooth. From what I've heard the software in the F/A-18E/F is insane. It won't accept any inputs from the pilot that will exceed the limitations of the aircraft or that would cause it to do something weird like tumble. I even read an article where a pilot lost control of one and "let go" of the controls... the airplane righted it self and then the pilot took over again. Imagine all that combined with a remote pilot using nothing more than an XBOX or PlayStation controller!
Hmmm..... how do I get that job? Pretty sure I could work from home.
