I take exception to Major Mills superficial and somewhat inaccurate description of fighter pilots! Myself, I characterize myself as a "blunt and ugly driver." I was fortunate enough to fly the C-130B, hauling trash in Vietnam; was an instructor pilot in the T-37 at Vance and Mather AFBs; and had two tours in the A-10 Warthog! I suggest that DJ get a pilot training slot anyway possible and once in a position to make a choice of big or little, do so. I would not, however, ever recommend that some become a lawn dart viper driver....Fly Safe, Clod
