Default UAVs to share civil airpace by 2008?

What's the big deal?
Dale Brown has written about this in his last three novels.

I can't imagine how a single F-16 pilot can fly his aircraft and be
expected to adequately control five other aircraft simultaneously.

Dale Brown has written about this in his last three novels.


Has he mentioned what happens to the pilotless aircraft if the pilot
controlling them becomes incapacitated?

Dale's pilots are commanding from a B1. And if something happens to the
command ship the UAVs can work on there own and head for the house or
destroy themselves.
