helicopters or speed of sound ?
I pose a question. . Although our world is filled with the constant battle of Rotary Vs Fixed-wing.
Given the opportunity; would you trade your helicopter career for one of Mach numbers in a FA-18 hornett or any other fighter for that matter ?
Assuming it was instant and tomorrow you were in the seat of a fighter. .

No brainer!
The smell of the cordite…. the thrill of the dog fight…. in combat down to 50 feet… running below tree top height or leaving devastation caused by your supersonic boom way, way, behind you….winning the 'battle of the debrief’ and just knowing that regardless of what anyone else says, you can drink more piss than anybody, there is no woman that you can’t have, and that yours is the biggest….who could turn all that down? Not me!!!!
I would go back tomorrow, hell, my bags are packed!!

How can you tell who the pilot is at a cocktail party?
......After 1/2 hour he'll say "Well, that's enough about me, lets talk about my airplane"

PS...Choose the fighter, you can always come back.
