Default Implications of.....keeping the speed up

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.
