Is Your Aircrew Position Changing and Are You Adapting?

ASOG Members…This is a think pieceIs your aircrew position (commercial surveying, public safety & defense) changing from an “analog to a digital” or “stick & rudder” to a “sensing and responding” activity? I want to highlight one aircrew position that I think is changing in this direction. The position is the Air Refueling Boom Operator, based on current trends in this sector of aerial work/mil ops; the Boom Operator has gone from “stick & rudder” laying on his or her stomach flying a boom to operating an RQ-1 like sensor operator station to pass gas!

Think about it…how is technology changing your way of flying and are you adapting?
