As to NCO's not flying...you might be surprised.

The U.S. Navy commissioned all NCO aviators in the late 60s-early 70s. My mom's second husband (my ADCS-Ret dad passed away) was an NCO helicopter pilot who recieved a commission at the time this transition was made.

If you are referring to Warrant Officer pilots; they are not NCOs.

Glider pilots in WWII; Recon pilots in both Korea and Vietnam; And those, like myself, who just somehow managed to log time in anything.

Of Course, that was a while back.
