This has been tried a few times before, but this year, the bots kicked ass. Midair refueling is what pilots liken to “taking a running fuck at a rolling doughnut.” Before, the bots would be all over the place creating a not so glamorous display of flying prowess. Now however, the story is different. This of course means that we are now one more step closer to the “robots will kill you” prophecy. Now all we need is a magical floaty blimp refueling station like in the horrifically bad movie Stealth, and its all over. One of those UAV drones, just needs to get hit by lightning, gain sentience, decide humanity is a plague, and we are pooched.
