There was a 11 year old girl a couple years back, who flew a Russian Mig-29 and broke the sound barrier with it. Did I mention she was 11 years old?
Your argument was that you don't have to be intelligent to fly a fighter jet. Age is not equivalent to intelligence.
Show me a stupid 17 year old who flies fighter jets well (completes missions and lands them again) and I'll concede your point.
