To simply generalize that one who flies a jet is a "fast thinker" or "smart" is naive. Anyone can be taught to learn and repeat basic input functions as long as the educative process caters to the varying levels of redundacy required for comprehension. As previously mentioned by Nipr, all pilots are trained in a method as to reinforce sufficient reflexes into their psyche on top of being fed the run-of-the-mill "flair" type of know-how surrounding the most critical of situations. What makes an excellent ace is not the intellectual attribute of "genius", but cunning resourcefulness.

To me, your response seems to be just a partial offense to my saying that not all fighter pilots are "fast thinkers" or "smart". Truly though, when I speak of these terms, I speak of them in very high degrees. When you have the survival reflexes built into your mindframe, there is little intellect has to do with flying capability. I do feel that how I've spoken of this topic in my initial response to this thread is quite apt. Military requirements aren't the highest when it comes to logical intellect.

I always think, particularly in online FPS you should talk like someone is standing in front of you.
Imagine you are at the gym a playing field, Bar ,subway etc
Is there some sort of reason that you like to talk in a 3rd person perspective? For one, it sure doesn't help clarify your stance nor your image, especially when written in an approach as hashed as yours. Truly though, your belief in this post just reinforces the fact that you probably focus on the superficial a tad too much. Regardless, you apparently did
not respond to my entries in this thread at
all. To me, replying without rebuttal signifies agreement.
Granting your odd tendencies, anyone here could surely see the "tough", arrogant, and superficial air about you. You fail to realize that in the "real, live" world, the behavioral facets of people are often guised with that which is only immediately apparent. Thus the significance placed in an ability to reason on an academic, persuasive level. Also, I would also like to point out that assuming "insults" are made due to a fault in the offender is ingenuous at best.
Is it just me, or does it seem that you are trying to intimidate me into thinking that were I to say the things I say now in front of your face, you would "do something about it"? Truly, I view you only as a simpleton.

Horseman thinks some have Strayed of the topic as Cessna's are not Super Sonic Fighter Jets. In fact they are worlds apart. But Horseman was Correct. All the Sources from people in the Professions, Authors and Publications on the Topic Back him. He always Thought Calling a Fighter Jet Pilot an Imbecile / Moron was Ridiculous and Was surprised when he was asked to Responded to it, As its was little more than name calling. Luckily the USA is not Run by the Loudest Voice or This Weeks popular chant.
Here is a thread from some one who actually flew the thing.
all though you might want to here from others.
http://webs.lanset.com/aeolusaero/Artic … istory.htm
Horseman Here and Else where always encourages others to Speak to each other as if they were face to face. It seems weak at best to insult within the safety of the Internet's anonymity. He also Finds it amusing that all though he works in NYC, Frequently Travels in Harlem and the Bronx at all hours, He is only insulted on the Internet.
He has the sneaking suspicion that the ability to remain hidden and safe Emboldens some who some how in there own world feel "lacking " ?
He also feels a new post coming on
To say that it is "ridiculous" to describe a
previous fighter-jet "pilot" is of utmost ignorance when specific circumstance isn't considered. Clearly, you have either somehow avoided or forgotten this section of the topic. Who is to say he actually
flew ritualistically? As they say, he (your admired
George W. Bush) was AWOL for quite some lengths of time, despite drug abuse as well. As everyone has
wholesomely and
completely agreed that your academically average Joe could learn to fly (any) plane, it is common sense that it is the cunning resourcefulness which brings a pilot to the esteemed "elite" status. Your acclaimed president lacks in every aspect which requires the description of "ace". Moreover, it would be prudent to say the country is fortunate enough to have a Commander-in-Chief who can properly form a thoroughly supported, logical rebuttal to arguments that come his way.* Oh...wait a second; my bad, I thought it was 1996.
But really, the discrepancy lies in the last phrasing of your second purported opinion of "the fighter-jet pilot". Very evidently, you write "You can not call a Living Jet Pilot Dumb." This
may be true, but to set aside the applicable conditions would be foolhardy. The portion of that last sentence, "...a Living Jet Pilot..." asserts that this person would need to still be enrolled as a pilot, besides, of course, being alive. At the time, G.W.B.
could have had some fragment of intellect buried deep within, but tell-tale accounts of his behavior could very well explain the lapse in intelligence we all see today. Though, by saying that, I am not saying that I agree, but simply that it could have been one avenue G.W.B. may have went down. It could very well be that he had
always been a mediocre-minded man, but until accuracies are developed, the
particulars can't be judged. Though, we all do in fact know that G.W.B. is, presently, a dolt.
