PS, I’m not a mil jet guy, I’m a former RW guy who has 1200 hours of flight time that most majors don’t even consider actual flight time.

Because there is more airmanship in any one of the fighter guy’s hours than any 100 of the other guys.
Paging Wackmaster and his “but, but... we land at busy airports and stuff...”
To which any fighter dude that has flown in an LFE launch and recovery (which is almost all of them) just chuckles and says “that’s cute.”
