According to some at the Pentagon, there will one day be no more human fighter pilots.
Lockheed has been testing a modified F-35 with an AI pilot.
My late uncle was Naval fighter pilot in WWII. When I was a kid I once asked him to describe what it was like to land on a carrier at night. He gave a slight grin and said place a postage stamp face down on the floor. Turn off the lights. Now, take 10 steps back, then run as fast as you can toward the stamp and jump like you are going to do a dive bomb and lick the stamp with your tongue while landing smoothly on your belly. Can I pad the floor with pillows first. No!
