Good advice Highway!! You might add, that you get to be at the controls of a piece of equipment that can cost in the millions/billions of dollars!!

You don't have to even fly these aircraft nowadays, AOO. You just take off, sit back and let the computer do all the work, then you have to land! How do you think those Camel Jockey Terrorists could control those planes.
On top of that, with the "smart bombs" you don't even have to be a good shot. The "Ace" is getting replaced by a computer.
