Maybe that is why I would prefer a larger Air Force with cheaper planes. Then I will have a better chance of getting a fighter. I forgot all about UAVs though. It does make sense then. Use the expensive fighters at the beginning, and then use the cheap UAVs to orbit around for hours looking for anything else that comes up after the initial strikes against other fighters and air defense systems.

On a side note, I heard a while ago that they were sticking more fighter pilots than any other airframe in UAVs because they are both single pilot aircraft. Is that true? I know I am getting ahead of myself, but when it comes time to make a track preference, I would like to select fighter/bomber, but I want to limit my risk to UAVs as much as possible. I would love to fly anything, but the nothing in the civilian worked compares to fighters so it would be my only chance to ever fly an airplane like that ever.
