Another thing I grow somewhat tired of is the inevitable comparisons, nay cliches, mostly from non-aviation folks, drawn from a certain Hollywood movie of 1980s vintage about a group of US Navy pilots. Many references when talking about anything/anyone aviation-related are made to said film and its prat actor, fancy sunglasses, flying jackets with badges all over, chatting up females, pratting about on motorbikes and F-14s etc. The sound track was decent but that's about it
There again like most things in life I just laugh them off. Hope I didn't come across as being some cantankerous git in my previous (flippant) post
Aviation is great. Some minor irritances, mostly from outside quarters, but great nonetheless.
