Reminds me of an afternoon when we were walking out to pre-flight our (USAF) F-4. The pilot climbed to the front cockpit, stopped, and climbed back down.
Crewchief: What's the problem, sir?
Pilot: There's no seat, and I'm not sure I want to stand the entire sortie...
LOL!
I can belive it... some pilots have a wonderfully dry sense of humor.. I think they have too.
