I'd love one of those!

Mind you my last escapade with an RC helicopter didnt end well for the tree it attacked so maybe not.

Maybe a tenuous link but the F16 used was 15yrs old, a mention in the other thread re oldest PC (http://www.technibble.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50392) brings it more alive. If they can get it to Mach+ then theres hope for the Pentiums out there!

Don't you just love the way the link text to that page (headlines on the right of the BBC news page) says "F-16 jet takes off with empty cockpit".

Ooooh.. like it just decided to do that all by itself!

Definitely belongs in the giant scale category

Reminded me of this story I saw last week:
