I am selecting in a few weeks and I am having a hell of a time deciding to put helos or jets first. I love the idea of flying low and slow and seeing shit blow up as I kill it. I know there are some selections out of advanced for UH-1Y Super Hueys and that or Cobras would be bad ass. I wouldn't mind 53s but don't really want 46s. On the jet side, you fly a jet. That's bad ass as long as it's not a Prowler. But dropping a bomb at 15,000 and never seeing it again isn't really my cup of tea. I want to be in the action, as little as there is right now.
For jets, not getting to the fleet for another 2.5-3 years sucks. And another 16 months of advanced blows. I do not plan on making a career out of flying so the 2 year extra commitment has a little bit to do with my choice also, but not a huge deal. I may end up staying in anyway.
It is just hard to get good advice since everyone brags about their own platform. Is there anyone that has flown both and can give some recommendations? I am sure I will be happy with either one, but I am deciding the next 10 years of my life in the next 2 weeks and just looking for some help.
