I believe NHQ is looking into a program that uses something like drones.. I am not to sure of the details, so don't quote me or flame me, but I am pretty sure it was very recent... hmm.. now I'll go look up the story and post. :P

LOL, they had a fit the last time that term was used on here, the whole thread disappeared. They sent out memo's from NHQ about not to call it that, and ... they have articles on their own site about it, called that.

You can replace the aircraft with drones as soon as you replace the cadets with droids.
