<p>…and nothing better than driving one. A note to ponder on AF vs Navy flying: The AF measures ‘experience’ in flying hours. Naval operators measure experience in the number of ‘traps,’ or landings aboard the carrier. Night weather traps are harry. While AF fighter pilots will return to base when the fuel ‘bingo’ is hit, our Navy counterparts head to the ship to meet their trap time. It’s a primary focus of their entire flight. Miss your trap time and you could foul the entire carrier air wing’s schedule. Also, don’t forget the deployments and impact on your family. It’s not all Top Gun.</p>
