Air force to transition to drone planes?

We currently live in an age where technology allows for many things to be controlled by computers or controlled remotely. This concept has even penetrated into the military battleground. The concept is that instead of risking human lives in Air force missions, a plane specially equipped with cameras and radios could be controlled from clear across the globe, thus keeping the pilot out of harms way.

The Predator UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is one of the Air forces remote controlled planes. Equipped to handle reconnaissance, combat, or support missions, this versatile aircraft is just as effective as its manned alternative. Outfitted with a 360* rotational full-color camera, the pilot is able to see anything and everything that the drone sees, all from the safety of home! Imagine waking up Monday morning to a cold winter day, driving a short couple of minutes to a bunker at Hill Air Force Base and immediately take flight in a plane in the scorching deserts of the middle-east. After an intense aerial dogfight and successfully destroying a key target, you are able to be back home with your family in just a matter of minutes!
