Tactical Aircraft

Some information for thought.

The last Air Force pilot ever involved in a real dog fight is coming up on his 2nd star. The same goes for the last Naval Aviator.

Back in Vietnam, Marines lost 1 tactical aircraft for every 6,000 missions. In Operation Iraqi Freedom our loss rate is 1 tactical aircrafter per every 1,500 sorties.

It's considered safer to fly fighter plane rather than helicopters.
