In order to get out of fighting in Vietnam, he joined the air national guard. Never flew a mission and ended up getting grounded because he didn't complete a physical on time in 1972. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) We're splitting hairs here, but to me, never flying a mission and getting grounded means he was never a 'fighter pilot.' I mean, we agree on the basics and have a mildly different interpretation of the terms.

That doesn't make them any less of a fighter pilot. Most of the time they are training or just protecting assets. But if you want to walk up to these guys and suggest they are not a fighter pilot cause they didn't kill anyone yet then go ahead. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago I haven't met every pilot on Earth.
