I even read an article where a pilot lost control of one and "let go" of the controls... the airplane righted it self and then the pilot took over again. Imagine all that combined with a remote pilot using nothing more than an XBOX or PlayStation controller!

Hmmm..... how do I get that job? Pretty sure I could work from home.
haaaa taking out a MiG-35 in your pj's would be cool.
