But a FB-111 wasn’t a fighter....
Then again, 111 drivers are probably better than "fighter" pilots. They did their shizzle at 600 knots and 100 feet off the deck. A Falcon driver would poop his flight suit doing that. |
This thread has officially jumped the shark...

I have family that flew in the FB-111 and they understand that it wasn’t a FIGHTER. No different than my co-worker who flew the F-117 thinks that he flew a FIGHTER. So if those Aardvark pilot were even better FIGHTER than the Falcon pilots, then they make even worse civilian passenger/cargo pilots and are even bigger douche bags? Dang.... |

1. Considers himself a superior pilot just like the pilot that took three attempts at a Lear 45 type as an SIC. 2. Considers compliance with FAR's a PITA. |

Maybe there’s something about the O2 system in a Falcon that makes the helmets REALLY tight... I have friends and extended family who flew in the 111 and a close friend of my wife was killed in one so I know the community a little bit. Aardvark drivers of my acquaintance never seemed to have the same “D” component... |
Let’s agree that there’s s good and bad in every community , be they fighter boys , bomber boys , Civlants , everyone except freight dogs , and Marine grunts we walk on water LOL ,seriously though me thinks this thread has run its course.

Actually, it proved why there is no point in trying to explain fighter time to a bunch of civilians. Your comments just prove you know nothing,
I am also speaking from experience. Having flown in fractional, charter, and airline ops for many years, crew flying is the easiest flying I have ever done. Its not that difficult. It’s unfortunate that it hurts the pride of you fellas. Maybe the fact that crew flying is the easiest flying you have done says something about your F16 capabilities... |
So tempting....... But no.

Anyone know if FlexJet wants mil applicants to add a conversion factor to their hours? I know XOJET wanted 0.2/sortie but I don’t know what FlexJet wants.
Thanks! |
Where in your UPT class do you have to graduate if you are going straight to a guard unit? Say you were going to fly F-16's at....for $hits and giggles...Ft. Wayne. Would you need to graduate at the top or anywhere...including the bottom?
