Therein lies the conundrum: were you a fighter pilot if you flew P-51s on the
airshow circuit? The Mustang was most definitely a fighter. Were you only a
fighter pilot if you flew fighters for a military service? Or only if you've
fired your guns in anger?

This seems to be a grey area to me.

I agree, it is...and while I can't stand the gasbag I hate to see
an injustice done (if it is indeed being done). About the only
authorities qualified to speak are former or current military
fighter pilots. (IMO). I wonder what Ed thinks? Perhaps dude
could ask him?
