When the military gets back to producing anywhere near the number of pilots required for today's civil aviation industry, let us know...

The military is going PILOTLESS whenever possible these days. The future pilot stream will come from University Flight Programs like PURDUE, ND State and others...

It's the University of North Dakota, thank you very much! If we were talking about animal husbandry or soil sciences, then you'd be taking about North Dakota St. :-)

I said some wouldn't like what I said. These places teach flying just fine. Unlike the military, they don't also teach thinking, nor do they focus on emergency procedures like the Military does.

Clear day, VFR, your grandma could fly most aircraft.

Bad weather, crosswinds, sick engines or hydraulics, you had better hope the dudes up front have already seen worse.
