Personally, if I was driving a truck around for hours on end, I could probably do with some help, as it would get friggin boring.
But flying an F18 around or whatever over enemy territory........
I just cant see myself falling asleep. A heart attack maybe, but not asleep!

A little off topic,
but when these amphetapilots are flying their peacekeepin' antimassweaponsofdestruction sorties it's interestin'
to keep in mind:
"The USA is the world's largest exporter of arms, with sales in 1999
worth $26.2bn., or 49.1%(!) of the world total. In 1987 sales had had been worth $25bn., but had only represented 27.0% of the worlds total.
In 1998 Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon were the 3 largest arms producing companies in the USA (and the world), accounting for $17.88bn., $15.90bn. and $12.48bn. worth of sales respectively.
The USA spends more on defence in 1999 than the next 7 biggest spenders combined.
- the number of nuclear warheads (intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and bombers) in Jan. 1999 active for deployment in the US was declared at 7200."
"The UK is a net-exporter of arms and in 1999 was the world's second largest exporter after the USA, with sales worth US$9,986m., or 18.7% of the world total. In 1987 sales had been worth US$7.65bn., but had only represented 8.3% of the world total.
In 1998 British Aerospace (BAe) was the 4th largest arms producing company, behind Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon."

I guess if they keep blowin' shit up, they can keep sellin' it.
Good for their pharmacutical companies too.
