You are not, any longer.
So why do you impugn others?
My sell by date expired in 2005.
I am a 'used to be' who still loves that Military Aviation Profession and advocates for it.
Take your wet blanket act and park it on the ramp way out there, where the fire fighters practice their craft on long dead airframes.
You'll be in good company.
Lonewolf. Given that I am quite a bit older than Beagle (I actually taught him at RAF Chivenor in 1982), you probably think I am past my 'sell by date'. Not a bit of it. I still teach aerobatics, tail chasing & formation flying and own my own 'Warbird' So don't really seem ready for pipe & slippers just yet. Moreover, having watched interviews by Douglas Bader and Robin Olds, they too had much to offer despite being even older than myself. Military aviation principles don't change too much.
