As you said, too much can go wrong. For that same reason I am not a fan of sun roofs and power almost everything. Too many opportunities for a malfunction. How often have we been unable to operate a television set, if we watch one, because we couldn't find the remote?

Too much that can go wrong with them. Too expensive to build and maintain.
I used to have a Ford F100 with a 300 straight six. Ford made that same engine block for probably 50 years because it worked and worked well.
That's the A-10. And the B-52...how many years and they're still using them?

Thanks for sharing. Life gives us the opportunity to make hard choices.

Only the spirit of adventure in you causes you to question your life and career choices. I have entertained a lot of what-if's in my lifetime also. Like what-if i had accepted the offer of nomination to NavCad pilot training in Pensacola, or what-if I had gone against my wife's wishes and accepted the civilianization of my Navy job (GS-14). Adm McCormick offered it to me when I told him that I was getting out of the Navy after almost 10 years but, I would have had to stay in Norfolk which my wife hated. I ended up divorcing my wife 2 years later. Go figure!
You can't go thru life "shoulding" on yourself for bad choices, i.e., I should've done this or done that instead of this. I'm convinced that, for reasons that still elude me, God guided me on the path that I'm on and I'm thankful.

We are all Americans with different mission statements, but Americans still.
