Comfort?

Hi All

Strange question I know, but for those who have flown them, are single seater military jets as uncomfortable as they appear to be for the pilot? I sat in a Mirage IIIO and Macchi 326 cockpit today and got to thinking how they differed from the civil aircraft I fly. Lots of sharp edges, bare metal, little padding, etc. I would think that a long time sitting in one of these, say on a ferry flight, would be a killer.

Thanks.
