Well, the USN is rather like the RAF, except that with the RAF all those things are true... ;-)

It looks as if (from Castaway) that FedEx pilots have to be very brave and skillful. Did FedEx pay for that film by the way?

Yes, I know all about that.  One of my best long-time friends was
a Navy pilot, and he said he loved flying off carriers,
particularly enjoyed landing at night and/or in rough weather.  He
told many other lies, too, even when he wasn't drinking.  I recall
his standard announcement when undertaking any task that required
even minimal skill, like playing pinball or tuning up his old XKE,
was, "Well, of course I can do this.  I'm a fighter pilot."
Today, he flies packages for Fed-X, but his bravado hasn't
diminished one bit.
