How did it fly without the engines?
That's not a drone. That's a huge axle with special agriculture wheels.
That model doesn't use engines, it's human powered. It actually harnesses the excessive energy found in toddlers and small children via an oversized hamster wheel located in the pumpkin. Given the birth rate on many rural farms they have plenty of effecient renewable energy. That hatch on top is the access hatch to exhchange power plants (aka small humans).
the pilot is bent over looking for the cell phone he just dropped.

The do actually convert old fighters to use as drones, but I assume you already knew that being a Vet. I think you are speaking in jest, but it is actually kind of ironic considering something that happened at work.
I've said it a few times around the forums, but I work in military aviation maintenance. I started out on and spent most of the last 20 years doing depot level maintenance on F-15s, thankfully I moved on in the last few years, but it was good experience. Anyhow during the depot maintenance program there are regular inspections, not just the normal maintenance inspections, also lots of Quality Assurance inspections. QA is looking for anything we may have done wrong during a task, looking for FOD (Foreign Object Debris) that we may have left in the aircraft, etc.
Many years ago we inducted an aircraft and sometime early in the repair phase one of the QA inspectors found a cell phone inside the throttle quadrant. We're talking about an F-15, there isn't a lot of space for anything to be floating around in there without causing problems. Of course there are strict rules against having cell phones, jewlry, and watches (generally anything that is loose and not a tool or part) on the aircraft. Well the shit hit the fan because of what it was and where it was. Serious inquiries as to who it belonged to and someone was probably going to be fired, man hunt ensued for about a week.
Well someone finally got the bright idea to charge the thing and see who it belonged to. Well, it wasn't anyone at the maintenance depot. Turned out to be the personal phone of a pilot at home station who didn't report it missing and already bought a replacement. Heads still rolled since it made it through incoming and other inspections without being found, but those reprocussions were milder since it would have been found in a few days anyway when thepart was removed.
