Hi Gang,

I thought I'd share a photo I found of a modern Fighter Pilot:

I can't for the life of me remember where I got it from so my apologies. I'm pretty sure it was a DOD site though...

Also - I think he is an F-18 pilot but I'm not 100% sure...

I'm not sure, but I don't think that's an F-18 suit, etc., but I'm not an expert. F-16, maybe? But what I actually wanted to mention was that the word "turnaround" when associated with modern jets most of the time means the process of rapid refueling and rearming the bird. Air and ground crew talk in terms of a "quick turn", etc. Just FYI and totally off subject...sorry.

All the best,
Dan
