I dunno, but a couple of things come to mind: Try to run the op until the JTAC instructed you to standby until the gunship is bingo, or butt in with how you've just spoted a mover with your sniper pod only to be told by the gunship you just ID'd a dog.
Yea, if it's not about fighters I know you're really put out to read about it. You're just furthering the stereotype that the typical jet jockey would rather hear about the guy who did a strafing pass and got his silver star than about a slow mover who might, just might, have something more to offer. But you do make a point; try to correct a fighter guy that the world doesn't revolve around him 365/year and you find yourself fending off criticisms about how your aircraft has limitations; well, no $*!@. So, back to observing posts for the most part rather than foolishly thinking somebody like an F-22 driver could change his colors.
