if you just want to fly (get in the air, go somewhere, get back down, not die) a modern 4th+ gen fighter it's absolutely piss easy and you could teach a middle schooler to do it. What's hard is doing all the other shit that a fighter pilot is required to do.
Jordan is one of those places in the British sphere of influence like Oman that have magically turned into nice countries instead of anywhere saudi or russian supported.
It's pretty easy if you spend your free time in the simulator. All us Air Force brats can get time in the simulator if no one else is scheduled to use it. My dad is colonel and has even snuck me up to fly in his F-16 a few times. I'm trying really hard to get accepted to the Air Force Academy, but I've been missing my dad who's deployed right now flying missions over the Med.
At Beecher AFB? Is your name Doug? I heard there was kid named Doug from the Eagles Flying Club who beat Knotcher flying The Snake. Is it true you have three times as many hours in the simulator as any Falcon pilot at Beecher?
Considering the F-16s maiden flight was originally just supposed to be a simple taxiing test before the plane decided otherwise, I'd reckon its pretty damn easy to get one in the air. And thanks to the ejection system you don't even have to worry about landing the damn thing
Probably the hardest thing about flying a modern jet is getting used to all the counter-intuitive wienerpit controls. There’s this civilian plane pilot who makes videos of just him flying places — and I swear 99% of the time was just fiddling with the radio, ie, punching in frequencies, sending messages, etc. He barely even touches the flight controls. It’s story of like, take off, climb, set cruise control and then screw around with the radio as required. Flying a modern combat jet is very probably similar, and only gets challenging if you have to do something like do dogfight training, landing in poor conditions, tree-top flying, etc. The most involved part of flying I bet is doing all the pre-flight checks and processes for taking off / landing.
I'm an Eagle guy, not a Viper guy. Flying a fighter is, in short, not easy. Happy to answer actual questions.
>Someone with an actually cool job
>on /k/
Yeah, no, we are all POGs and larpers around here
I'm a glowie THOUGH
why is it so easy in dcs and other flight simulators?
because in real life you need to do all that shit that you do in dcs but also under G load
>8G
Wonder how these Frenchmen didn't knock themselves out when they were pushing their Rafales to 11G.
If you stuff a baguette between your ass cheeks and clench real hard hon hon hon.

Is 27 too late to put in for an aviation packet if I have a PPL?

nato planes are piss easy to learn and fly
anyone can learn up how to program a JSOW/JDAM, it's a simple step by step process but learning how to use it in combat is the hard part
learning how to use your tools effectively is 90% of the training in any branch
Would
Gib.
I'll take her, too.
Flying is easy.
Landing is hard.
Where does "crashing a plane with no survivors" fall on the difficulty scale?
It would be extremely painful
you're a big guy
If you think 5'7" and 140 lbs is big, sure, lol
>does not know about overhead breaking
ngmi
The hardest part is getting to the point where you get to actually fly an F-16
it takes like 3 weeks to learn how to fly one and 4 months to understand the conservation of energy and radar meta
I thought they didn't even let women drive cars over there
Did you miss the princess part?
It's Jordan. As ME countries go they are kinda cool.
in jordan you not only have stores that sell booze but you also have locals getting drunk in the streets (mostly the local christians though)

Well, it's not a fricking car for starters. I assume fighter jets were not invented when the Quran was written.
Neither were cars

I forgot all about that movie

Hnnng.
id fly her if you know what i mean
I'd let her grab my joystick circumcised unshaven penis schlong dick wiener johnson PEEN0R if you know what I mean.
>expectorant that gets rid of vitamins, nutrients and calcium
>anyone going into space for more than a week barred from caffeine for a year prior
makes you think
my body stopped aching when I stopped caffeine, it got the point I couldn't walk upright
I looked that up. Astronauts drink coffee in space. They even have a machine called ISSpresso.
