going AF?

If you want to make General before
you retire, your chances are greater anywhere outside of fighters.

Which Air Force is that? The current Air Force leaders (3 & 4 Star) are
affectionately dubbed (by us "non-fighter" types) "the fighter mafia".

Every time I go to Wright-Patterson I see a lot of old cargo pilots and
Engineers (not flight) in the various General ranks.

Every time I go to WRught-Pat I see a B-26 Martin Marauder looking bold and
glorious. It is what memories are made of.

Of course, I see Doctors, lawyers, personnelist (is that a word?), logisticians
and even cops wearing stars at the Pentagon, but that doesn't mean it's common
throughout the Air Force. The facts are, a large percentage of our General
Officers, particularly at the Lt. Gen and Gen ranks are fighter pilots.
