Military pilots, specifically tactical jet types don't typically fly in the GA environment....at least that's my educated guess. I flew COD's for 8+ years and was able to fly in and out of both military and civilian airfields. Hell, we'd launch from carriers to go to a medium civilian airport. Sometimes confusing military lingo with civilian lingo and vice versa However, it still wasn't much VFR type flying, except from the boat. Now being a T-34C IP at Whiting, that opened my eyes more to flying in and out of non-controlled airfields, mixing in with GA aircraft, etc. It's just something Hornet or Rhino drivers don't do. I've got some very few hours in a Cherokee Warrior as well, about 30 and GA flying isn't anywhere near as difficult as any part of the military flying world, just different.
