Fear of flying?
And that's the point I was trying to make, although you did it much more eloquently. There's a difference between the fear that comes with that situation, and an actual fear of flying straight and level when its CAVU.

Fear of flying?
Seems like that would be a fear of the total situation, not necessarily flying. Sort of like you'd be scared if you saw a mack truck merging into your lane on the highway, but that doesn't make you fear driving. Not that having a mack truck merge into your lane is in the same league as flying in the goo in combat, but you catch the drift.

Pilot/graduation gifts
I LOVE my Skyhawk! The wife got mine when I got selected for OTS, and I don't know how I ever wore anything else. Along with the "cheesy shadowbox", we've got a place here that will do a three-picture collage in a frame. You get an 8X10 of your airframe, and underneath are two 3X5's of your training A/C (round these parts, that's a T-6 and a T-39).

I'm in a dilemna - Pilot or WSO?
I'm sure all the WSOs out there appreciate being called passengers. I know I did.

Air Force Heritage
I think we do have a strong heritage, but it gets buried. Reaching back from the Army Air Corps all the way through today, we've done some pretty amazing things as a service. I do think that the bigger part of our problem isn't that we don't have a heritage...it's that we try to manufacture new ones every time some general gets a new idea or wants to leave a mark. That's why the Marines have a sense of camraderie...they DON'T reinvent their heritage every ten years. We've got plenty of heritage...we just need to stop masking it with a bunch of organizational BS.
