Really?



In the face of this technology, ability to strike targets from thousands of miles away, staying airborne of hours on end, conducting IED searches to keep convoys safe, monitoring enemy movements and passing the details onto the guys and girls on the ground etc…etc.. your main issue is do they really need to wear flying suits?

As I understand it, most if not all of the Pilots are away from their primary aircraft type for a few years before returning to them, so as a ground tour it’s pretty good I reckon.



Don’t crews wear a flying suits in the simulators?

I suppose they could always wear blues while flying over Afghanistan and employing weapons. Doesn't seam right though.
