ABSOLUTELY! Have to save those planes for the pilots to come right?
Without a student in the plane I always try to save some of the wear and tear. When we had some time with the F-16s up there - the guys standing the SOF would make mention of the fact that there was a big differences in the way that the leads and dash 3s were landing and how the dash 2 and 4s were landing

If you like that office view - here is one a little closer. The back office of a F/A-18D.

very nice..... very jealous.... pictures like that just make me want to give up civilian flying and do some real flying!

Sure beats that cubicle the "grass is always greener" people talk about in the leaving the career forum..... whatever they get paid!

Zayghami -

That ended way back in Intermediate training (T-2C Buckeyes) for me

Ryan -

There are certain aspects that overshadow all the negatives to the "leaving the career" forum. On the other hand - many leave one side of the fence for the other - including me in less than 15 months.
