PICTURES...OR YOU DIDNT HAPPEN

[BULL]

I mean, the thing pretty much flies itself...

That's a perk of being a single seat fighter pilot; you're always the mayor of cockpit city...

I'll be your Huckleberry.

Everybody is to bashful! Life is life, it is what it is. LOL I had fun in mine.

I still am...

Looking at the photo some more, I'm pretty sure I'm on the ground haha. When we do hot pit refueling (land, pull up to a fuel truck and get gas without shutting down, then take off again) it can take like 1.0 hours to get 8 jets through the pits. I usually eat lunch, check my phone, and take care of business while on the ground.

That's what I though (on the ground). Just funning with you.

Of course we never take pics while flying...

But, if you can't fly your plane and take a picture at the same time, you don't belong in a fighter. That's the equivalent of walking and chewing bubble gum in our world.

2 hours of utter boredom, 2 minutes of shear terror, 2 hours of utter boredom.

Get up, do it again.

Walking and chewing gum does not give me motion sickness.

Ha what I meant is, try having 3 different conversations on 3 different frequencies, sometimes listening to one while talking on the other (and actually have to receive, interpret radio calls while providing clear/concise/correct direction on the other freq), shooting the air threat, switching to air to ground mode and dropping a bomb on a target, then turning to fight the SAM that just came on air and is shooting at you, all while you are keeping an eye on your 3 other wingman and making sure you are defensively reacting to threats and analyzing the situation 5 times per second to make sure you can still win without blue forces dieing.. I've been in fights where that describes 60 seconds of the fight.

We're good multi taskers - sometimes.

Then add your Crewchief coming up on comms telling you that you missed the Bandit that's rolling in on your 3 o'clock.

When AWACS gets on the radio and says "Weasel 1, threat, your nose, 10 miles, high fast..." 30 seconds after you thought you killed everyone...
