Q: How many fighter pilots to change a light bulb?


A: One, he holds onto the light bulb and the world revolves
around
him.

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

None, that's what enlisted personnel are for!

Jim

......and after these enlisted personnel get finished changing that
ole'
light bulb, I sure hope they can manage to find the time to keep my
worthless butt alive just like they have always done for me and just
about
every other pilot I know. :-)

We were supposed to keep you alive? And to think all this time I
thought
we
just wanted our aircraft back with zero discrepencies.

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

Are you kidding? :-) It's a pilot's solemn duty to bring the bird back
with
discrepancies. If there were no discrepancies, you guys wouldn't have
anything to fix. If you didn't have to fix anything, you'd all get stale
and
lazy from just lying around on the ramp doing nothing all day. All that
lying around doing nothing would make you all fat, and then your uniforms
wouldn't fit. If your damn uniforms didn't fit properly, your wives would
take one look at you and put all of you on diets. On diets all you would
get
over at the mess hall would be a celery or parsley sandwich. After eating
that crap, you'd all get mad as hell at the pilots and go home bitching
to
your wives. They'd throw your sorry asses out of the house where all of
you
would wander over to the NCO club and bitch all night to one another.
Nah!!!!! It's better we write up the discrepancies and avoid all this
happening to you guys!!!!. :-))))))

I guess I should be glad you stick actuators were looking out for our
welfare.

I guess that's the reason I used to put dirty magazines in the map case in
F-4s
and left a game of Risk® for the battle staph on a 135 command post.

Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired

Was that YOU?? :-)

I'm not at all certain however, that staff could handle the complexity of
"RISK"
without at least one trip over to the O club for some attitude adjustment!!!
:-)
Hey......if digging up that registered trademark R for your "Risk" reference
is any indication of the attention you gave your aircraft, I'll fly with you
anytime!! :-)

Recently read an article about an ROTC field problem on
how to cross a river.

The prospective Lts scratched their heads coming up with
all sorts of schemes to get their people across the river.

The correct answer however was to go to the Sargent and
simply give him the order to get the team across the river!

Occam's Razor in action :-)))

We sure tried very hard.

I put the Risk® game in the very back of one of the 135s at Langely in the
summer of 1977. I wonder what happened to it.

That is kind of like the "unknown" who used to put the "Batman" symbol inside
the hood of the instructor's radar scope on T-29s when he wasn't looking. O-2s
got offended, O-3s laughed, O-4s got confused.

Back to the thread - dammit!
1) Selection - rigid criteria
2) Training - realistic and demanding
3) Evaluation - objective
4) Desire - to be the best.
---and so on, recursively. This is where the IAF shines - when you
can't hack it any longer - objectively - they find a new job for you.
'Career progression' be damned - it's a waste of time and assets.

Q: How do you know if there is a fighter pilot at your party?
A: He'll tell
you.


and if you ever actually do happen to find one who lacks the aggression to
tell you......don't fly with him!!!

No, its just that full time CFIs, when they meet a woman, can only afford to
treat the woman to a wonderful meal of Ramen noodles.
