AT 2000 hrs I was flying photo reconniassance in a pressure suit above 70,000 ft where the difference between stall and Mach tuck is 12 kts - a high pucker factor. All of this before I turned thirty years old.

It's the quality of training and the depth of the experience not total hours that determine a competent pilot.
