Most generalizations don't stand up. OK, name five fighter pilots that
you "know" who wouldn't fly any airplane that was full of free gas.
I mentioned Diz - the other name that pops up right off the bat is Robin Olds,
who used to tell his backseater to "shut up and hold on".
I met him. When he left my wife asked "who was that asshole?" and I
said "he's a fighter pilot, need I say more?"
Besides, I didn't say the guys wouldn't ride in a two-seater, I said
I don't know any
of them that preferred to fly a side-by-side ship, if there was anything
else
available.
Did you miss that part of my comment,
Bob?
Well, I was thinking: here's an F-102, and here's a T-33... Hmm, decisions,
decisions...
