If time is the criteria (stand by for cheap shot...), how much time to
you have as pilot-in-command? As a rated AF pilot? As pilot of a
Century Series jet? Solo?

Don't let this pioot stuff go to your head. The entire purpose of a
bombing
mission in WW II was to put a bombardier over a target for 30 seconds. The
pilot was just the driver. And when it came to flying good bomb runs some
pilots weren't worth a ****.

And today, the pilot, navigator, bombardier and gunner may well be the same
guy.
