Does everyone and their grandma want jets?

LOL... that was good... ur a funny guy, rep points for u

I'll be here all week. Those UAV check rides are a b!tch.

To the original poster, Naval Aviation is kinda like Cracker Jacks. You never know which prize you're going to get. You're just stoked to get a prize. Unless you get the flower sticker prize, then you DOR. <j/k>

In small tacair airplanes you are strapped in six ways from Sunday, wearing not only a flight suit but integrated survival harness, G-suit, helmet, O2 mask, and gloves. Temps inside the airplane run from 130 on the ground to 40 at altitude. You have to listen to the other guy's breathing, and your own, through the mic in the mask. The helmet and visor restrict your view. You are almost immobilized and can turn a little bit to each side if you strain against the straps. The seat is as hard as a plank. The ejection foot restraints restrict even foot movement.

Sounds about right. Though the NACES seat really isn't that bad.

I'm just curious as to how this works out in general. Now, I know there is no definite answer to this question, which is why i'm asking for the general outcome. I would love to fly jets but I have nothing against helos...but are people generally happy in the end with what they get? Does everyone go in wanting jets but change their mind later on?

I appologize if this queston has been asked a million times but the answer is always changing, so share your thoughts.

Actually yes. My grandma has expressed her interest in jets. Specifically the JSF

Agree 100%. Everyone including all grandmothers less the one mentioned above want jets. Can we say instant panty remover?

As much as people hate this kind of a question, it sure is getting some good hits. I just wanted to see how everyone would respond. I don't really care about what I may fly in the end but I still have my goals.

I just wanted to annoy people for a change but thanks for the replies.

Huh?

In tacair you get to spend six months aboard the boat seeing the inside of a very small room.

Come on now, the wardroom isn't that small really. Oh wait a minute, you must be referring to their stateroom. :icon_smil

 

[Schnugg]

Why yes....Grandma wants jets...

 

[Raptor2216]

well who knew.

Hey! I think that lady sold me a taquito the other day...

I hope no one wants jets; because I really want them. I don't want to compete with a lot of people. I flew straight and level all through college, and I hated it. Nothing beats flying upsidedown. I hated the guys who thought they were cool because they were gonna be corporate pilots. zzzzzzzzzzz

I'm with Semper Gumbie... wanted jets 19 years ago, then decorated the cockpit with my stomach enough times to realize maybe I really didn't want jets after all.... selected helo's, then Snakes and never looked back. Flying Cobra's has been an absolute blast..... the bad guys think they are pretty ugly too........................
