Hi!

I was reading that the AF is now calling them RPVs. I also read that for the newest crop of AF pilots, that over 1/2 of them will NOT fly a plane, and will instead go directly into RPVs. They may NEVER fly a manned aircraft!

Four of my buddies (from my US airline) are now flying RPVs for a civilian contractor. The guy who is an IP is making $600/day.

It looks like the pipeline for an RPV career is getting bigger and bigger.
