Yep, he's got plenty-o-fighter experience. F-14, F-18, and A-7. Not to mention helicopter time. And it would appear that he doesn't even get to ride in the front seat of the shuttle.  

Bazoukas:
ouch I didnt think of that lol.

 F-14s man. Did you work on them?  Those are my big love!!!

I wish people would spend more money investing in the space program than making bombs and starting stupid wars. I mean, don't people realize that earth is a very small place in the middle of a gigantic universe?

If half the effort were put in to the space program than all the other crap we waste time and money on we would already have settlements on the Moon and Mars. But people are short sighted creatures, they only look at the hear and now.

very true, and i agree, but i think, while spending less money and effort on bombs and so forth is a good idea, that we should perform some serious housekeeping as a species and as a planet before we fritter it all away on space missions.

I do think that space stuff could turn out to be very important once we have done enough of it, however i think that there are more pressing things at stake in the meantime, and that until we sort out our own affairs (which will not happen in a hurry at this rate, so why not blow it all on the space program regardless?), i don't think we should really be throwing a lot of money into space.

Good pictures though right enough, not the most entertaining, some of them, but i liked them because you know you are looking at something you would not be likely to see in person. It's good that communications are up to the standard that they can telecast pictures from space like this, and have themon websites.

Nope, F-14 are Navy birds. They are getting quite old now but yes they have always had one of the largest cool factors. I worked the F-16, F-4, and A-10.
