"Now that I think about it, fighter pilots really have to get to the point where everything they do is instictive and not waist [sic] time thinking about what to do."

That's more true than you know, and not just for fighter pilots. It's also why it takes so much training to become....and remain.....a mission-ready pilot in any of the military branches.
