Are you also suggesting by bringing up the topic that the Air Force pilots
were using amphetamines? Do you have some evidence to support this, or are
you like Anthony in trying to stir the pot and get yourself some attention?

"The policies concerning stimulants ultimately evolved into Air Force
Regulation (AFR) 161--33/TAC Supplement 1. TAC sanctioned the use of
amphetamine because single--seat pilots are particularly susceptible
to the effects of boredom and fatigue during deployments overseas and
during extended combat air patrols. Maj David Caskey, an Air Force
F--15 pilot, reported using “go” pills routinely when flying from the
United States to Germany, Japan, or Thailand. He recounted that some
pilots refused to take them, saying they didn't need them; however, he
pointed out that one time, an entire flight diverted to a base in
England because some pilots simply couldn't stay awake en route to
their destination in Germany.13 "
