Whats after Captain? Lt Col?...then Col...then Maj....then Gen.?

In the army - it's Capt'n, Maj, Chicken Col, Full Bird Col, then a one star.

Association w/ the military was long, but peripheral.

<I tried the B17....too big......and it takes forever to get to altitude......>

it may not be too much fun on simulation game, but what a rush in real life! i got to fly in one last summer. we could walk all over the plane, but the glass nose cone was the best view. i believe the pilots donate their time just for the pleasure of flying them. it seemed to me that they liked to show off (maybe for advertising). they put it on it's side on corners and buzzed Tongue River Reservoir so low i could see in the open tackle box of a boat fisherman.

what a trip!
