Have no idea what you actually are trying to say. Except to confirm that a Rad. is a doctor. 

So thanks for confirming what I already stated, not sure how I have gotten on in the past without your knowledgeable interjections.
:airplane: I don't think he meant any disrespect sir and as for how I listed the 3 aircraft owners, I always acknowledge the additional training the "Rad" has, over the training a doctor receives. Again, I don't mean any disrespect to any of my 3 Friends who own the 3 aircraft, (they were all students of mine at one time), the "Rad" was quite a bit smarter than the 2 doctors, but they all 3 are very smart people, of whom, we need more like them in real life.
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!

Alright, Pavlov... here we go...

See... you stated that a Radiologist is a doctor... and you did so in a manner that seemed to imply that ET didn't already know this.

I tried to explain to you the reasoning behind ET referring to the Radiologist specifically by title is because it is a title earned over and above D.O. or M.D.

While a General is indeed an "officer", one generally refers to him/her as "General"... not "Officer".

Thanks for playing.

I really enjoy reading posts both by Earl and Colmbo and feel privileged that we get to fly with them in Aces High.

Both of these guys have a lot time in some of the planes that are modelled here.  That's very rare, a part of history, and I feel fortunate to hear things from their perspectives.

I would like to add that in most cases "sir" will not suffice with flag rank either.  However, you may refer to them by their first names.......General or Admiral

Hate to burst your bubble, but your experience with doctors must be fairly limited. 

Your comparison here isn't relevant, since doctors are referred to as 'Doctor' in a professional environment regardless of what type of doctor they are.  Cardiologists, Radiologists, Pathologists, Orthopedists,  etc, are all just called 'Doctor'.

But please do feel free to intergect some more foundless drivel on this BBS as you see fit.

And as always,

Thanks for playing.
