Airports and air travel of the future

Frank F. Matthews writes:

I won't say that it is impossible. I will say that it is impossible
within my lifetime. It is possible that remote management will be
available for cargo planes in a couple of decades. I might believe it
when I see such technology being deployed in situations where it would
be of real benefit. Combat jets for example. Today a major restriction
on aircraft performance in combat is protecting a pilot. When most of
the air force combat planes are run by sergeants on the ground I may
begin to believe.

Then the time is now, because UAVs are already in use and are being
piloted by relatively unskilled specialists on the ground.
