I'm the guy, I guess, that Dan Ford was talking about. I posted a couple of
days ago that the only skill I saw atrophy with age was..interest. I went
from flying B-1Bs to C-172s. I just couldn't get into it. I was spending
$100+ to cruise at 20kts+ slower than B-1 touchdown speed. It's not an
arrogance thing...it just isn't exciting enough for me to spend the money
anymore.

One, going from an F-102A to a 172 must be a downer.


Yeah, I've often wondered how weird it must feel for an ex-military pilot

to
fly a Spam can. Sorta like transitioning from a Kawasaki racing bike back
to a scooter, I would think?

How 'bout it, Big John (or other military folks)? Is flying a lowly
Skyhawk worth bothering with, after flying at Mach 2 with your hair on

fire?
