Crazy that the whole cockpit is so digital in these planes. I’d probably freak if all info about my plane disappeared at that kind of altitude and situation too. But I’m also not a fighter pilot.

I wonder how hard it would be to add backup remote flight controls to these planes and have drone operators sitting in a virtual second seat to land them in a situation like that. Probably worth the 1 billion or 20 that would cost.
