Nobody's jumping on you for a repost, just giving you links to the other threads so you can see what people have already said.

As mentioned above, this one is worth a watch from time to time. "I tell you what I'd do, man. I'd be a Naval Flight Officer."

"Hi, my name is _________, and I FLY the _______."

Shouldn't they say that they "ride" in it. :icon_tong

So if you're sitting co-pilot in your 60 and running the radar... you're just riding along too, right?

No radar in the F or H. Still, those guys are no more flying those jets than our AW's are "flying" our helo. They are operating sonar, manning crew served weapons, or doing any number of other tasks.

Seriously, I would say that I am co-piloting or the "non-flying pilot". The guy wiggling the sticks is flying.

I have never flown with an NFO, so I don't know what your verb of choice would be. "Navigating" or "Communicating" does not sound real sexy, I know.

Let's just stop this right now before anyone else chimes in.

Good idea. Someone may not understand how little I care about this point, or simply not get the joke.
