B1B Question

There's nothing wrong with wanting a bomber
Some people want the Bone because they've always wanted to fly it.
Some because they like the idea of flying with a crew and still being able to kill people and break their sh*t.
And some are smart enough to know that they didn't fair well in the single seat environment and/or high G arena and chose the bomber option.
It's easy for anyone to say they want to be a fighter pilot but these guys (bomber dudes) sampled a little of that environment (T-38 track) and made their choice...or the Air Force made it for them.

One more thing...

One more thing I might throw in as for why someone would choose a bomber over a fighter...

Home life. Though bombers do deploy more now then they used to back in the N-word days (in the S-command)...it's still fairly rare by fighter standards. In the flying USAF of now, just about the only job where you are home more than a bomber guy is a AETC SUPT IP.

If the guy is married (or has a serious girlfriend ) that may be entering his crosscheck. I can tell you when I was young and single I wanted to fly fighters in the worst way, but hey, sometimes you just can't get there from here. Now, being married, and planning on kids in a year...fighters aren't really for me anymore...

I must admit a part of me misses dropping iron...9 miles a minute at 400 feet...flying one of the coolest looking airplanes ever...

Ah, yes, the good ol' days...oh wait, mobility, shots, ORI, NSI, generations, ALO...what? Okay, maybe not...

Fly Safe!
