Yes, it's amazing. What's spooky is that the damn thing flew over 90 miles without a pilot.

And that's after buzzing the field. Throttle and controls must have simply frozen in the correct positions for extended flight. But what about wind, you know updrafts, downdrafts, etc. I actually did "fly" a two-seater once, after a pilot got the plane off the ground. Once. -G- I was quite nauseous by the time the pilot landed the thing.

It occurred to me that pilots are overpaid. The darn planes can fly themselves, as long as the gas tank is full! -GG-
