This fuss sums up todays world for me. Surely fighter pilots have to have a bit of an edge to them , people who break a few minor rules are the same kind of people who are happy to get blasted off a carriers bows in total darkness and max weight , and even more so whoare not going to be frightened silly trying land on again in the dead of might in rain with a pitching ship the only part of which youcan see are two lights.
Sorry but I think that despite all the rules inherent in any flying fighter and GA pilots have to have that bit of an edge to them because they have to a job most of us cannot and would not even if we could.
