These are funny because they all came from non fatal unmanned aircraft crashes.  I read every accident transcript I can get my hands on.  Most are pretty sobering.  Whenever we are having a particular weird conversation I always hope the rest of the flight goes well.  Or whenever things are getting iffy I hope no one says something dumb.

But these are funny.  I liked "Okay, interesting.  We are falling out of the sky..."

Good stuff.  Several of these sound like someone reacting to playing a video game. 

I would be curious to know the ratio of unmanned military wrecks/flights compared to that of "manned" military flights.

Just seems like the unmanned has a higher ratio of wrecks, but if so, possibly due to the drones flying higher risk missions.

Being a pilot isn't all seat-of-the-pants flying and glory. It's self- discipline, practice, study, analysis and preparation. It's precision. If you can't keep the gauges where you want them with everything free and easy, how can you keep them there when everything goes wrong?
