LOL!

Two things:
Is NFO a slang term (for, say Non-Flying Officer) because I thought those guys were called RIOs? Also, I've heard that the WSOs in the Strike Eagle have a lot more to do than the Tomcat backseaters. True, or just WSO propaganda?

Unless you got a slider in your pocket,

Translation?

WSO's have much more to do than RIO's because they have to keep reminding the pilot to keep the wings level.

Actually, it was true until the Tomcat got the ground mission. The WSO is busy designating targets, handling ECM and navigation. Now that the Bombcat drops JDAMs, the RIO (now NFO) has a lot more to do than shutup and hold on.
