You know this is so funny. I was flying freight one afternoon in the midwest in an Aztec. A line of storms started to develop, well actually only a few scattered cells. Im on the ramp loading my cargo and notice a whole fleet of military beechjets on the tarmac. I go in to check radar one last time and lo and behold I hear the pilots talking. They are going to divert to an airport that is like three states away? Im telling you, military pilots are good at what they do, but they are their own breed. You can't possibly tell me that a military pilot who has not flown "single pilot hard core IFR in crappy equipped twins", can out fly a freight dog. I would put the money on a sim ride, "freight pilot vs military pilot"
Freight pilot would come out ahead. There are no ejection seat in cargo, you goof, you die!!!
