Caveman Fighter Pilot
Where did the fighter pilot come from? It’s a question that comes up often from our students here at Fighter Pilot University. Although the airplane did not come into it's own until Orville and Wilber, the fighter pilot attitude goes back to the beginning of time.
I was brought up by a bunch of Vietnam era guys who always said, "being a fighter pilot is an attitude, not an AFSC." AFSC stands for Air Force Specialty Code. It took some time to understand the meaning of that statement, but all fighter pilots’ I know understand exactly what that means.
Does that mean a caveman could have been a fighter pilot? Well, yes little Johnny I think it does. Enough pontificating, let's turn to our FU video library to prove our point.
This short film was produced by Joe Shit the Ragman while on walk about in Australia. Joe was searching for the origins of the fighter pilot attitude. I think it's safe to say he found it. Roll the tape Joe.
