That is frikken awesome. Salute to you sir.

You guys need to loosen up a bit though. Computer games, nerdy books and **** - chicks love it - they just want to see you confident about it. All broads dig nerds - phoney tough guys are a dime a dozen - you dunno how good you have it.
Ive actually discussed ACM in a bar over a few beers (ok more than a few... I would not have brought up the climb rate advantages of the 109 in a pub with a total stranger if I was sober) with a girl I met that particular night. She was even asking questions about the differences between machine gun rounds and cannon rounds once I started explaining armament.
So I like aviation - sue me. Its a passion - thats what girls like to see - makes em quiver when you can speak intelligently on a subject not many people have interest in.
Think about it - how many guys do you think walk up to a girl with some cheese-d!ck line? How many of them does she blow off?
You start going off about low altitude dogfighting against normally aspirated engine Soviet fighters and shes so thrown for a loop she cant help but listen.

YMMV
