In my little corner of the fighter flying business, we used to say,
"Rock stars, sports stars, porn stars, and fighter pilots all get to the point where it's just a job and they don't wanna go to work today."
Personally, I have more fun buzzing around below 300' at 80 knots in an open cockpit and fabric airplane than I did being above 70K' in the U-2 or supersonic in the F-15E.
I did not know you flew the U-2. And now you're relegated to the fakebus....In my little corner of the fighter flying business, we used to say,

Damn you were a U2 pilot? Nice!
This. I sort of fear this, a little bit, as I look at a second career.

One engine and maybe a radio. MAYBE.In my little corner of the fighter flying business, we used to say,

Some more interesting speculation...fun to dream I guess.
Let's Talk About The Rumor That F-117s Have Flown Missions In The Middle East Recently
The rumor isn't new and there is certainly some highly relevant logic to back it up, but is it actually true?www.thedrive.com
One very top secret aircraft I remember shot approaches and landings for a couple of days. Serial Number 1 - The Mad Dog 80.
If it was... It was most likely before.Wonder if it was this one:
Where did they find footage of my landings?Wonder if it was this one:
I’ve always wondered, and will probably never know, how the stealth on these compares to the F22, F35, and other copycat designs.
This is a great quote.I see it as the opposite, actually. Once you get past the initial halo effect and look at it like a job -- especially in the flying business -- you're more apt to be making logical decisions rather than emotional ones. It is something to look forward to, rather than something to not want to occur.
IMHO it doesn't diminish job satisfaction.
