Re: "No, there's no glamour in being a fighter pilot"

Sorry I did no t mean to offend, I was just stating that almost all fighter pilots I have talked to may have had a different outlook because they were aces, and are now famous because of that fact. The thought that some pilots fly to shoot, some fly to get shot at, actualy is not mine. It is the thoughts of a very famous RAF ace, who I used to correspond with before he past away. He stated that between missions during the BOB you could tell the difference because the shooters would be more interested in the rearming, and camera film. The ones going out to get shot at where checking their chutes, and other survival gear.
