I'm sure that this will provoke any amount of whiffery.

How will they fit in with other air traffic in the area?

Wil their 'pilots' be talking to local air traffic or......?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Much as I like the idea, would it be cheaper to operate a manned light aircraft?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

So.... just like a regular pilot, then?    ;D  ;)

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Quite the other way round, I think. This was inspired by whiffery. See Robert's US Coast Guard Predator, for example: LINK! We should start demanding royalties!  :mellow:

EDIT: For another "life imitates art"-take, consider xkcd's comic on "search and rescue" and new robots/drones. LINK!  ;D

Human or machine, pilots are poor deluded fools.  JayBee you agree?

Yes.  And appropriate airspace restrictions will be put into place.

I texted her about this and her response was 'Oh Gawd....................'

They are coming, Kit.  Ask your daughter what she knows about Protector.
