Air Force introduces QF-16 drones

Boeing and the Air Force just introduced a new drone to their drone program: the F-16. It was the first time an F-16 has ever flown without a pilot aboard.

This video reminded me of my visit to the Tyndall drone range in 2009, watching old F-4 Phantom IIs roar over me. It was like I was back in the Navy with my destroyer acting as plane guard behind an aircraft carrier on flight operations.

Here’s a great story on the drone program if you’d like to learn more.
