Wow. I'm legit pissed at myself for missing this thread. That being said its easy to make fun of the fat kids because we don't drop bombs/land on the boat etc... Believe me I'll be the first in line to make fun of TACAMO, but it's a big deal to sign for an aircraft that has 22 folks in it besides you. It's an entirely different realm of responsibility altogether than any TACAIR guy will ever have. Not any more or less, just different.
Besides, if shit went down my airplane can bring more ordnance to bear than every bomb on every carrier ever launched. Not that it matters, because I can't even enter the break, much less look cool doing it.
