One Phantom pilot I know managed to end up in the Atlantic as oppsoed to the Chanel as his navigator had his map the wrong way round.
Two ex A-10/Corsair II pilots I know enjoyed getting shot at over Vietnam.
One F-18 pilot I know, loved the job so much that when he retired he divorced his wife and moved to the middle east to carry on flying fast jets as an instructor. 😀
Although I have heard that flying CAP over the North Sea is boring as hell – but as a rule, if a pilot tells you that he hates his job – he’s either A) Lying B) Done 30 years or more flying airliners and never once used his job for coke and hookers without the wife knowing.
