How can you improve yourself as a pilot?

This may sound off the wall but try to be as happy as possible in everyday things and while flying. The mind will function a lot more efficiently and more precise if it isn't being clouded by anger over long trips or that you aren't going to upgrade for a long time. One will probably enjoy life over-all if they just try to be more happier.

The other points are great as well.

This is a great point. A first impression can tell you a lot about a person. Anything from confidence to anger can be easily seen by the way you present yourself and they excitement you have in your voice.

My old boss was a former Tomcat RIO and later Tomcat pilot...one of the first class of 7 to transition from RIO to pilot. Anyway, Snort was in his first squadron. He said that guy never lost, at least in 1 v1, though he broke NATOPS to do so. Incredible pilot he said. Another guy he flew against was Hoser, the famous toe thumb fighter pilot. In 1978 or so, at Red Flag, the AF put up their best F-15 pilot agains Hoser in an F-14A. I've seen the pic of Hoser's pipper right on the F-15's canopy.

Anyway, to become a better pilot, you need to suck less. An old paddles of mine when I was flying FCLP's in T-2C Buckeye's years ago with VT-4, used to come on the radio:

"201 Paddles!"




"Paddles, 201, go ahead"

"Yeah, 201, I need you suck less next pass"

"Roger, suck less next pass" :o
