In agreement with LOMCEVAK, so many different skills:
Low level, leading a balbo, harry doggers, winning the debrief, weaponeering, radar, HOTAS, recce, basic handling, formation, aeros, formation aeros, instrument flying, number 3 in the flat turn at Deci with the boss at 4.
Some naturally good at one, distinctly average at another; the odd bloke disconcertingly good at everything. Horses for courses. Though however able you were, you'd always be better at it if you were well nurtured.
Having then to perform under the pressure of someone shooting at you, I would imagine would bring its own challenges.
