My Porsche will NEVER be driven at whatever its' top speed is by me and I'm just fine with it. Does it thrill me...absolutely. Is it the same as low-level in the Chocolate Mountains at .94 mach? Nope. Is it as fun as landing on a pitching deck? Nope. Do I spend more time thinking of my car than I do my former fighter plane? Yep.

Everything is subjective. I tend to not pay attention to USAF pilots by-the-way.
Great post, even though my son wants to be an USAF pilot.
