Accompanying note suggests this is a first.
Has anyone more information on this?

There have been quite a few talks here about if pilots might be replaced in commercial aircraft in the future. Drone traffic like this could also point out other kinds of developments and traffic. Such as airlift getting a new meaning. But also that technology does not necessarily has to replace something, it instead can introduce something completely new in parallel.

Note to mod: I only put in the twitter href but the pprune site showed the whole twitter item. After the edit the href and twitter item were gone? And then popped up again. Having just a clickable href is fine with me. Leave it up to you. Regards.

At 150kt and 270 it is probably more of a pain in the butt than “joining the North Atlantic Traffic”.
