In the real world it's a very rare individual who comes any where near these figures, but that was not the question. When I was a lad, I spent my last year as an elisted guy in the USAF. I had unlimited access to an F-100 flight simulator and a Link C-11 (similar to a T-33 with VOR, ME, RMI, ILS, ADF). I also finished my private pilot ticket midway during that year. At the end of the year I started instrument training in a Piper Tri-Pacer. It was like shooting ducks in barrel, age 20 and all that fast simulator time. I was not anyone special. I am sure there are young enlisted boys and girls who have simulator access like I did and who are training at an Air Force aero club. They all probably ace the IR in no time at all. |
