Oh....and having flown 121 scheduled, Military tactical 130s and 121 Supp..... I find the flying we do here in the sandbox every bit as challenging as almost anything I did flying 130s... whether it be in far flung places with little or no support... or flying combat airdrops over Panama and Iraq(1991) ....the same..no.... but different and challenging in its own right. The whole mil vs Civ thing is bullcrap there are good pilots and bad pilots from all types of backgrounds. Fighter pilots have a unique skill set...but so do pilots from just about every other type background civ and mil.
