Well prepare for your cigarette to fall from your lips......I have a friend who was Captain of a Mach 2+ aeroplane, charged with intercepting Russian bombers carrying out practice attacks on the UK. He used to enjoy afterburner vertical climbs to maximum altitude, having to watch his fuel situation very closely. Landing on tyres that could only do 3 landings.......he was 19 years old! He didn't have 1200 hours, OR ANYWHERE NEAR IT!
Wake up man! And try and post in the right place!
