Anybody from the US Air Force here ? 'Guess not, but nice try anyway.
I wish somebody could tell us more on how fast their pilots get their wings and jump into the left seat of wonderjets like the B-52, B-2, KC-10, KC-135, etc. (not to mention fighter planes). If you could read what I heard a few years ago, your eyes will pop out. I was really amazed, and their accident rate is not significantly higher than in the civil world. Yeah, sometimes they try a 2-ADF approach when theres' not even a single ADF on board, but who doesn't ?
It's all a question of training and exposure to difficult situations. How fast somebody will learn is another story of course. As long as the ego stays quiet things should remain pretty much safe.
