@HunDriverWidow No, they are very experienced professionals, but even this article from 2019 states they are bringing them on right out of undergraduate pilot training. I wonder if it's tougher, now, to find candidates. And I'm thinking that to accomplish those protracted missions, successfully, they need stamina...and youth.

@UptownGirl

My late husband was a retired USAF fighter pilot. To be a pilot of this caliber, they are not 20 yrs old. 2019 was a long time ago in terms of a bird of this class.

@HunDriverWidow Yes, I know. We have USAF here, as well as other pilots. It was just a meme...and they do have to have stamina, as I'm sure you are aware.

I wasn't questioning you at all. I just thought the meme needed clarification as the widow of a fighter pilot & knowledge of all his training before going to Vietnam.
