So back in the day, NASA was doing some tests with using neural networks/AI to fly fighter jets. They used a modified F-15: NF-15B, Tail # 837 for this purpose - Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS). [1][2][3][4]

There's a cool video of that jet following the lead jet using neural nets, but I can't seem to find that online.

With AI/NeuralNets having made significant advances since those days (2003?), presumably this test craft is a lot more capable.
