Smart fighter planes - assault on hot shot fighter jock egos

(bareboards2)
1 decade 3 years 11 months ago

This was sent to me by a WWII pilot with this explanation: Alas, what changes are coming. In WW1 & WW2 a pilot wore a white silk scarf so he would not chap his neck while "keeping his neck on a swivel to make sure his six was clear". With DAS he no longer has to watch his six. He just dumbly flys [sic] along depending on his DAS to warn him. Right? What a blow to his image. He was so striking to the young girls, striding arrogantly along in his high boots, riding pants, leather jacket, leather helmet, goggles and white scarf. Well, next they will remove the pilot completely and replace him with a pilotless fighter. Alas...alas.
