Fighter Pilot

FIGHTER PILOT So you are a fighter pilot in one of today’s latest jets. Tell me what it is like to fly, to fight and to die in the air? All of the crushing g-forces and dizzying changes of direction happening all at once. I bet that there’s no glory in your battles, only pain, mutilation and death. But this is your game, an aerial ballet of chess where the victors come home and the vanquished cease to exist. I’d like to see what you see just for a day, to experience what it is like to be a fighter pilot.
