A little off topic, but related to my post about fighting helos: Even at NSAWC where every fighter guy that shows up is a level 4 division lead and goes through TOPGUN as an SFTI or Adversary we didn't let new guys fight the helos. Guys had to have some experience at NSAWC and usually trunk a flight in a two seater before they could fight the helos on their own. It is not a very safe flight for the uninitiated and aggressive.
I've done it in Yuma (at MAWTS-1), and in Camp Lejeune with A-10s from Pope. Fun both times, but also made me realize we lose. A lot.
