Game of Drones

A former Air Force fighter pilot relates his experiences and impressions about learning to fly the MQ-9 Reaper, a remotely piloted vehicle (RPV - drone). The author compares and contrasts his experiences of flying the F-4 and F-15 in the Air Force with flying the MQ-9 on military missions as a civilian contract pilot. This autobiography gives the reader insights to the living and operational environments the author encountered in his deployments to remote locations in the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. This book addresses the differences between flying manned and unmanned aircraft in military operations as well as the reasons RPV operators can suffer PTSD when flying from the safe confines of a control van out of harm's way.
