Drone Pilots Burned Out

Acording to Colonel Brad Hoagland United States Airforce...."The thrill of taking off from a runway, flying a mission and then coming back and landing at the end of the mission — that’s very exciting,"as told to NBC news reporters,"But, I think that’s a different type of person who can do that, than someone who is may be wired to fly an unmanned system from a console 7,000 miles away.
