    A set of command pilot wings for remotely piloted aircraft pilots sits for a photo at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, Dec. 11, 2025. Pilots of all airframes must have 15 years in service as a rated pilot and 3000 total hours of flight time for the rating of command pilot, which is the highest rating a pilot can receive. The 18X career field for remotely piloted aircraft officially started in 2010 and therefore 2025 is the first year 18X pilots can obtain the rating with only flying on their airframe.
