The only difference in plying our unique trades is
that my "wingmen" fly in the same jet with me.

That's a big difference though.

I disagree. The only difference is I use the intercom vis the radio to
coordinate with my team.

It's beyond me why anyone would
choose a multi-engined bomber, trash hauler, whirlybird, or whatever
vis a vis a single-seat fighter (or a single-seat *anything*).

I chose a BUFF over an F-16 and an F-15C, in fact the only difficulty I may
have had in chosing would have been if an F-15E were available, and even then I
think I would have taken the BUFF. I'm the opposite of you, for the life of me,
I can't figure out why anyone would take a fighter, particularly an F-15C. Sure
you have a great time at RED FLAG, but when it comes time for the real deal,
you're a spectator. As for the fighters that employ air-ground ordnance; if
you aren't carrying double digits(in number of weapons), you're just a bomber
want to be
