Family… Been a long time since I've had mine around me. Well - I saw my brother over Thanksgiving. That was fun.
Dad and Mom have been dead a long time, now, though. Miss them quite a bit. Wise man, my father.
That is somewhat possible/plausible. Most aircraft that are fly-by-wire can, at least in theory, be remote controlled or drone operated fairly easily. The avionics support it and many of the planes out there can already fly and land themselves … If the right segments of code were added to handle ATC and other such stuff.
