What are the working conditions for fighter pilots?

Answer 1

Up until the Vietnam War, jet fighter pilots HAD to fly the aircraft, there were no computers (as we know them today). If a Vietnam era Phantom pilot blacked out at the controls, he crashed. If a US Navy Crusader pilot was wounded and couldn't land his plane on a carrier's decks, he crashed. Those jets had standard instruments (gauges and dials) and manually operated controls (mechanical computers existed then, they were just like the odometer on the cars prior to digital screens); if a pilot couldn't pull those levers during strong "G" turns, he lost control of his aircraft.

Today's 21st century fighter pilots use computers; if the pilot blacks out, the computer takes over and flies the aircraft. If the pilot can't land on a carrier, the computer lands the plane. Pilots read TV screens now (heads up displays), very FEW gauges and dials (compared to Viet War jets), controls are assisted by computers so that strength is NO LONGER required for flying. If a pilot wants to try some dangerous Vietnam dog-fight style of maneuvering, the computer may not let the pilot do it.

If a pilot is an expert at Video Games (experienced in computer games), and knows the basics of aeronautics, and the aircraft...the pilot can fly a jet fighter.
