.and the second to say it's been on before!
So it might have been, but a first for me and fascinating doesn't say the half of it. As a dyed in the wool, straight and level, tea every hour on the hour, ex-truckie this modest man's description of a USAF fighter pilot's career, and what he did and how I found very impressive. He also illustrates the gulf between the flight line and the HQ in any Air Force!
What a marvellous illustration of the value of the exchange system, and what a condemnation of how it can be under valued! We had USAF exchange pilots on a number of the squadrons I was on. Without exception they created a positive effect, not only on a personal basis, but in the way that their Service was perceived and respected as a result. I've no doubt that the same applied elsewhere. As he says, at the end of the day we are all united by our love of flying.
Not an F-35 enthusiast though...
