Okay, I give up.
In all fairness, I don't talk much about my background anymore.
But to answer your question, I have been both a military and commercial pilot. Most FReepers are well aware of my background, and I guess my original comments were not fair to those of you who don't know me.
i just think that in this moment (which btw my son is in the air as we speak at an air show in kentucky) people should use better judgement than to get into name calling and the kid game of i know better than you.
lets all just pray for the pilot and his family.
