That's a highly volatile skill and having to maintain proficiency in air to ground as well, means the other has to suffer.

That was the only time I got to fly one and it was an entirely different feel.

He really did glom on to the chaff, when he should have just sampled it,(briefly logged on and saw that it was slow, slower than was likely for a fighter about to get within visual range).
