Intresting concept, shouldn't all pilots be required to spend at least a month as a CC's shadow. I know we had a program like this with some banked pilots awhile back and it gave the pilots some valuble insight as to what it's like to be a ground pounder as well as how the aircraft operates.

capche-capche da - we go forward together

Tell me about it. When I was at Jaber, alot of folks kept coming for tours of the flightline, (becuase everyone loves an A-10 with teeth...) and some Army troops came out, the ones who man the Patriot batteries. One question asked (not really a dumb one since helicoptors do it) was where does the brass fall out when the gun is fired. The question that <i>blew my mind</i> was...
<i>Army guy:</i> "So how many gears does the engine have?"
<i>Me:</i> "What?"
<i>Army guy:</i> "How many geas does the engine have? 4? 5?"
<i>Me:</i> <img src=newicons/Whatever_anim.gif border=0 align=middle> (trying not to laugh) "No gears, there's off, really slow up to kinda slow"
