I would assume so, I can't see a pilot in the cockpit of the opposing jets. Kind of cool, I've never seen a training dogfight like that.

Kooool!
Thanks for that link. Those look like F4's which is as good as way any to get rid of old jets. Kinda sad though ... the F4 has been a workhorse for decades. On the other hand it's like an old warrior going out in a blaze of glory, training new hot pilots instead of just rusting away in some desert waiting for the scrap man to turn it into a moped.

They carry the designation QF-4 and are Phantoms converted to be flown by remote control. This page gives a nice summary http://www.afmc.af.mil/news/st...sp?storyID=123026634
