The "we fly drones over Afghanistan with pilots in Nevada" is kind of a falsehood. The drones are lofted and landed by control centers mere steps from the runway. Once the birds are airborne they hand over control to the rearward base. Satellite links have about a second and a half delay which is not an option when you're trying to maneuver a tractor-trailer rig through traffic.
