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

Must make formation approaches a whole lot easier.


Depends on who your "wingman" is...

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

Must make NORDO communication a whole lot harder. Wing dips, tail
shakes and hand signals probably don't get noticed in the backseats.

Very true. Since the intercom is the primary means of transmitting the bailout
order, loss of it usually means those without flight controls get an uneasy
feeling.

Carried double digits of iron quite regularly. Still, I think I'd be a
bit apprehensive if I had to engage a MiG while carrying those
many-digits in a BUFF.

Nahh, you can run away nearly as easy with or without weapons (altitude
dependant).
