And that's what set me off, too. I'm older than I should be BECAUSE of the immense care that I gave to the job, and I have NO DOUBT that the stick actuators feel even moreso.

WAY too many here seem to have bought into the notion of the Ray-Ban/silk scarf/devil-may-care wildman-in-a-flightsuit frat boy image that fighter jocks have put up with ever since Hollywood thought they knew how to portray them. IT DON'T WORK, because it's not reality.

That's all we're saying.
