I love my Breitling, although my everyday/deployment watch is a Suunto Core - all black.

My "whiz-wheel" had been frozen in place for a couple of years now. At my age I couldn't read the numbers anyway if I had to use it

Not the point......he has never graduated from USAF pilot training. Therefore, no more qualified to wear them than any other non-USAF trained guy. For example, I would never presume to wear a pair of Navy wings, no matter how many ratings I have.

Honestly not trying to start a p***ing contest on who is better trained.

Thanksgiving: That is very very kind of you to open your home to the starving pilots. Ill eat at Ft Campbell this year I think.

Watch: Citizen Eco Drive = best watch ever made. end of story.

Flight sim: Unknown... However to hijack this thread for a bit; has anyone tried this place http://www.flyflightdeck.com

Thought about non revving out there and checking it out...
