VENOM! American ingenuity and innovation is always a forefront and makes me proud to be an American. As we press further into the technological age we see changes to warfare like never before. What was once in sci-fi movies is now headed towards reality! Who knows, some of you may fly with an autonomous F-16 wingman in the future! For now I’ll be happy to keep seats in the cockpit.
