15. Careful - not all Air Force officers fly planes. . .

although some may be what are called "non-pilot flight officers" such as RIO (radar-intercept officer) or BN (bombardier-navigator)
They are also known as "backseaters" or "sideseaters" for obvious reasons.

Others don't even get involved in aircraft at all, but work in support positions.

BTW, you can read more of LtCol. (Ret.) Kwiatkowski's stuff at either www.antiwar.com or www.lewrockwell.com
While both of these sites are libertarian-conservative in outlook, I visit them frequently, and always look forward to what Kwiatkowski has to say.
