Obviously, Art is stuck in 1945. Sq, Grp, and Wg commanders don't usually
fly lead or be the first over the target today. In fact, every Grp or Wg commander I've worked for since 1986 wasn't qualified under AF regs to fly lead. Thats what they have senior captains and majors for. But sure as hell not warrant officers.Give up a commision for a lower rank? Beyond my comprehension in 1945 or at any other time. Well, this is a different generation I guess. . Arthur Kramer There is always the story of Michael Novosel, who was a B-24 and B-29s during WW2, and was an reserve USAF LTC and wanted to go back to active duty and fly when the Vietnam unpleasentness started, even though he was old enough to retire USAF would not let him, so he went to the army as a warrant officer, learned to fly helicopters, and flew 2345 medivac missions and earned the CMOH.
