That actually seems a bit fun.

I bet he learned on FSX or some other program. Perhaps he's the next Bob Hoover? You know a natural?

Why is this so absurd? If you have the scores don't you stand a chance just like anyone else?

You know what though is that guy truly just as qualified? I say that because those crazy conditions you worked under in the military had to have given you some sort of mental resolve that the civilian sector trained pilots may not have. I could be wrong but just a thought.

Thanks for the good input and discussion gents. This has so far satisfied my curiosity regarding the two training avenues. Further curiosity I have has to do with the instructors in the military. Would you say the actual instructors themselves are better in quality?

Well guys I know we have pilots from varied backgrounds and types of training on this forum so I thought I would throw this topic out there. In your opinion what type of training atmosphere will generally make the better pilot? Will it be the military environment with perhaps more structure...

You should indeed channel Worf then insist they fly with you.

That guy sounded like a real tool who was trying to get into your head a bit.

Hmmmm........perhaps a run to Australia via the Comanche? :) :)

So guys the key with turbulence is to pretty much stay with the pedals, don't freak out on the yoke, and understand that it won't kill you?

Man that was a great movie.

Some people need a little bit less "tough" and more brains.
