From what I know about fighter pilots (at least former air force and former navy) they learn. Fighter pilots are a special type of crazy, where they have a drive to be the best at what they do.

I imagine Ukrainian pilots are no exception to this. The physical and mental demands of any fighter aircraft pretty much ensures it.

Combine that personality with an invasion in your homeland, I would guess these guys didn't take breaks. Not because they couldn't but because that would be expected, and they feel the need to do better.

Yeah I would definitely use it to describe Putin and Trump. Seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Gotta teach us somehow. You Europeans are far better at this sort of thing than Americans are. And you aren't losing out on much, I can pretty much guarantee that.

What?!? No, absolutely not. He wants it because it's something to brag about in his office.

The country has stored it in the archives to protect it.

Man I've been away from reddit for a while I guess. This is the first time Ive heard that. Horrifying, but seems about right

Which is pretty effective propaganda.

Union busters have spent a lot of money to make it feel that way.

But the thing about Trump, is that he'll have to out do 9/11, his ego won't allow anything less.

That is what terrifies me

Ugh.

He doesn't get that it's there not because it's valuable, it's there because it's an important cultural artifact that would disintegrate in a regular environment.

We get one of the real thing. Any time we get one of something, we like to protect it. Or at least we, humans, do.

I think at this point luck is all we can count on.
