Quit your complaining, at least you'll be doing your crossings at FL400 and above, and at a high mach speed, unlike us (in my case, ex) Hog drivers. 12 hours and 45 minutes from Bradley ANG Base in Connecticut to Nordholtz AB, in West Germany. No hot lunches, piddle packs, while wearing a full poopie suit, but worst of all, no autopilot of any kind. Not even a wings leveler or altitude hold. But of course that was during a time when men were men, with very large bladders.

A-10 has to be the coolest plane flying today. Keep all the electronics and gee whiz stuff, a really big gun solves all problems. Nothing like depleted uranium shells to make you feel all warm and fuzzy......

Or multi-engine sea time? Seriously, I'd sign up, but I don't have recent fighter experience, other than that unloggable stuff if my dreams. Are they really going to find guys that are already in? Whats the dif. anyway?
