War Games "What is it like to be a bomber pilot, flying 3,000 feet in the air? Do you really feel like a Top Gun? The rush of the supremacy of your power, hurtling at break-neck speeds, with your finger on the trigger able to unleash terror and destruction below at a moment's notice? What is it like to be hopped on go-pills, flying 12 hour bombing sorties at a time? Do you ever think about anything beyond the immediacy of the screen in-front of you, the commands being squawked at you, the strange air poetry you recite back to your crew, about getting back on the ground? How often do you feel any hint of vulnerability, what happens when a wave of paranoia hits you, with the waves of adrenaline and go-pills coursing through your veins?
