What skills are needed as a pilot?

[Pitbullo]

Hi!

I was just wondering, what skills is needed from a pilote in modern warfare?
In my imagination 1 on 1 dogfighting is not as required anymore, atleast from NATO - pilots, as it seems like bombing is whats popular these days.
An invasion these days consists of destroying the planes either on the ground, or with rockets from miles away with a force far surperior to the enemy.

I can only speak from what i know the pilots in my country does well, and that is low level flying, in narrow fjords and deep valleys. The same way every country has their pilots trained to be experts in flying in their enviroment. But is this an obsolete art with the evolution in warfare, and improved technology?

EDIT: Fixed some

Fighter Pilot skills

As I have said in an other post I have a friend who is a CF-18 with 409 sgd of the CAF. I know they practice all the forms of ACM, as well as ATG as they would need to perform many missions in time of war. His Fav is ACM training as any fighter pilot wants to kill other aircraft, a furball ( close in dogfight) is what they crave but like he said a furball is a very dangerous place to be in, to many things can bite you, better to kill them before they can kill you. Every type of skill is important to a fighter pilot today, just as it was in any of the wars that have been fought. Only difference being today they can reach out and touch someone from farther out than ever before.

Cheers
