I did some work for a guy that was a retired F-15 pilot. He made it sound like he had one of the most boring jobs in the world. I suppose that it's a bunch of beaurocratic bs and alot of traning and class work...but still. Any time you can fly supersonic on somebody elses tab is a cool job. After flying commercial for a couple of years he's now in Florida flying with the guard. Guess it wasn't that bad of a job after all.

A lot of the airline pilots started military; got their free flight training; got out to fly for the airlines and the big money; and still fly the fun jets as a weekend warrior.

If you've ever pulled big G's in something that's hot enough to set you back in your seat, congratulations. It's a ride you'll never forget!
When you see him go into a flipper turn like that he's pulling all of 6 G's, probably more.

America has the best pilots in the world, military or otherwise, as well as the best training facilities. That's why we train the pilots of so many other countries.

Eyeball flattening launches.
I've talked to several Navy Pilots and the say going from 0 to 150+ in 2 seconds is a thrill you never forget. They also say the worst is night launches. The deck is lit in dim red but at the end of the deck is pitch black with no horizon reference.

One pilot said on one launch he wasn't quite ready and accidently held the brakes. All it did was scrub off 5 knots from his takeoff speed. The catapult dargged the plane and tossed it off the deck. Ready or not, here you go!
