How do you lose interest in flying fighters so fast?


Just so we understand: you ask that because you never did it? Or because
you never did anything else?

If you are somewhere in between, you probably know that full time active
duty fighter pilots were in short supply relative to our needs, and guys
who could do it, but wouldn't have done it as a career, were called upon
to fill in. When the requirement decreased they went back to their
higher priorities. That's what the ANG is for, yesterday and today.
