I'll be damned if I'm going to let an AF type make fun of our turtle necks!!!
Well hell, that's easy. There has always been a higher standard in order to become a USAF Pilot vs a Naval Aviator. The wings of silver have always trumped the wings of gold. Aviation is what pilots in the USAF do, plain and simple. Naval Aviators are simply black-shoe ship/sub driver types who decided they wanted to wear a leather jacket, paint their boots brown, and step into an airplane or helo; while their Marine cousins are simply infantrymen at 50 AGL. Hell they can't even get the nomenclature correct, what with their duty runways, short/longfield arrestments, their fan breaks and their 180s, their incorrect O-3 insignia with the connecting bars at the ends.....and white in color on the flightsuit, their turtlenecks worn underneath the flightsuit, their inability to do anything but fly when in a flightsuit because its not considered a uniform, their tactical jets with only one stick in the front cockpit because they don't trust their NFOs, their shipboard Air Bosses who are perma-wired to the pissed off position, and their RATCFs with GCA controllers who tell you to "perform landing check."
Bada Bing! Be here all week! Try the veal!
