...retraining: Most new commercial airline pilots lack the rough-and-ready military-jet experience of their predecessors. And although pilots frequently train in ground simulators, many pilots argue that there is no substitute for the real thing. As sophisticated as simulators are in replicating emergencies, they still provide mostly visual cues. The Learjet, on the other hand, can provide the real G-forces and actual sights and sounds.

Ristelheuber seems to have a radically descriptive and almost impartial outlook on the horror that characterizes human conflict.
