Periodically, the demise of the pilot is predicted. Fifty years ago the dreadful Duncan Sandys decreed that combat aircraft would be rendered obsolete by guided missiles. He was completely wrong but he almost destroyed the RAF as a fighting force trying to prove otherwise. Similarly, clever non pilots decreed that the aircraft gun was obsolete and provided missile only fighters. Another bad mistake as the Americans discovered in Vietnam.
I think that the fighter pilot will be with us for some time. Imagine being in something like an F-16 in a sky full of drones. Target rich environment.
