A cargo plane flew 50 miles with no pilot onboard using a semi-automated system. An aviation expert says the technology could address the pilot shortage.::The flight system allows a plane to be remote operated by a pilot on the ground, which could streamline pilot airline operations in the future.
We’ve been flying things without pilots onboard as far back as WW2.
Bombs don’t count.
Target drones, not the buzzbombs.

edit: I suppose you don’t have to land gunnery targets just like you don’t really have to land bombs.
