"Thoughts?"

I'd hate to punch out at 750 knots. But then, I'd hate to punch out at all. GLOC nabs the best of us. Looking over your shoulder at 9 g's is never good for your health. I can't say I miss that part of flying the Viper. And in the last year since I ended 15 years of continuous flying I've grown a full inch. Scary. I turn 40 this year and measure 6'7" for the first time in my life. I'm pretty sure I'm done with puberty. I guess my spinal cord is finally starting to recover.

My WTF is regarding judgment. The dude was trying to rate instructor. What is the first thing you want to know about him? If those reasons were good enough to LOC, where they not good enough to down one's self? I know, you don't want to look weak, but that's better than looking dead.

Now, I don't know about the efficacy of those reasons, but I wish they would have just answered like you did. Essentially: "It happens, get over it."

Hey Rokke,

Are you coming back to the viper or are you done for good? We're still training them like crazy (B and TX course) at Luke, hope to see you around.
