There is that. Not to mention buying the AV gas for your plane
(but that is a more .. specialized group, those active members of
Uncle Sam's Flying Club.)

What really impressed me was that they would provide a Captain pilot
to transport a Sergeant.repair tech.

What didn't impress me the same way was the second-tour pilot's demo
of how to unexpectedly drop like a rock into a hot LZ in Nam.

Excuse me, Sir, but aren't the helicopter's blades supposed to be in
the blue instead of the green direction?
