Any fighter pilots?

[Techracer]

Hi

I'm considering a career as a pilot. Just wondering if the perks of flying military craft such as fighter jets is much more fun then your average cargo plane....
Sure i can understand the thrill of being in control of something so exxy, but do you reckon pulling high G turns etc make it that much more rewarding?

Cheers.

I reckon it depends on what you find rewarding. High G's make me kind of nauseous, lol. There is only one member here that I am aware of that is a fighter pilot, and he doesn't post. Gremlin29 is a helo pilot, and can anwser any questions you have about helos, I don't know what fixed wing AC he flies.

You might try one of the fighter forums, like A10.org or F-16.net, there are some pilots that are regulars there.

Thanks for the quick reply.
For something that one can only guess it will be like, it's a long commitment (11yrs in AF). I'll check out the forums you suggested.
