Air Force Flies Tanker Single Pilot - AVweb

Yup…probably flown between 0800 and 1700 on a perfectly clear day with no emergencies and a fully rested pilot. I am absolutely certain war will be fought this way. No fatigue, no emergencies, no one shooting at you, and of course mom won’t call and change the mission 56 times during the same flight.

If the military needs transport pilots they can call on some of us that would rather fly than play golf. There is enough of us to fill all of their empty seats, already trained, willing to serve. Put me in coach I don’t smoke…

Think of the irony, over 65 and too old to be safe, but somehow no pilot filling the same seat is safer! Oh my…

God bless.
