Oh yeah! I know what you mean ... made them go fast and easy! Which meant more than a few quick trots to the latrine after landing!

you guys know better than me, so i want to ask for opinions.
when i see that boeing is going totally out of pocket on this, my instict says that
a) they've been working on the tech long enough that they have it pretty much locked in
and/or
b) they feel the final product is a guaranteed, can't miss, sell.
is that the case here?
Yep, you've got it figured out pretty well!

Just saw this in FaceBook.
Boeing is proposing this (the posts focus on this drone by Boeing) as being the 'actual replacement' for the FA-18 Hornet.
Hard to imagine.....

Ken, it seems your prophesy on this is coming true within 24 hours....
Bill,
Think about the pure arrogance of that FAA official, and he's the guy supposed to be the lead agent on integrating RPA's into the future of the FAA!
I have years of experience in the industry.
He has practically zero.
Yet, when I point out something I know from experience to be a clear trend, likely to acellerate further, he ridicules it openly.
Think about the arrogance of such a thing!
You are right, Bill. My sole mistake on this estimate is that likely I am under predicting the rate at which it happens!

Its an incredible time we live in Ken. So much is changing overnight. Just think, the Shuttles will be retired very soon. Rutan is making space craft. Fighters are flown from other sides of Earth. I can see how the FAA doesnt realise the reality of aviation right now. They barely can handle ATC in the USA. Firms such as UPS with their airborn delivery systems have so improved and rewritten ATC traffic handling, that it is already more advanced then we can imagine, (and is built to even be self sustaining if HUB traffic control centers go down). The FAA just cant keep up. There world is changing at a maddening rate.
Just think, you were only just talking about RPA's being the fighters of tomorrow, and the next day, Boeing, of all corporations, announces the replacement of the infamous FA-18 to be a drone. Its happening overnight...
