paradimg shifts going on soon.
With the emergence of technologies like UAV, I can already hear gears stripping. g One thing is for sure - change will come in ways none of us will reasonably anticipate. I wouldn't rule out a resurgence of cockpit opportunities for BOTH the one and two-anchor communities. -- Mike Kanze 436 Greenbrier Road Half Moon Bay, California 94019-2259 USA 650-726-7890 "When you enter the voting booth, vote for the guy you think will go to jail last!" - Anonymous "nafod40" wrote in message ... Doug \"Woody\" and Erin Beal wrote: Don't take that as NFO bashing. I've got a lot of respect for B/N's, WSO's, and RIO's in the systems weapons and sensor supported weapons roles. It's great to have one guy totally focused on target acq and weapons support leaving the pilot to flying form and avoiding the threat. I just think that their additional utility (given current technology) in the air-to-air arena is limited. I'm sure I'm going to get many responses from this one. Seriously, folks, not a troll. I think the real battle of the decade is going to be how many pilots will remain in the cockpit. There's going to be some paradimg shifts going on soon. |
