I hate to buzz kill, but in 1954, a C-54 flew from Gander to Europe with a crew that monitored the auto flight only. Take off to touch down? That is nearly sixty years ago, so, wth?
eh?

So how did they remote fly it then? A bunch of pilots sitting in boats all across the Atlantic?

People, read the facts, it is ground based crew flying it, not a drone or bloggs with his feet up watching the autopilot...
