2. WTF is a "flight officer"? This is not the RAF and we haven't had any since WWII.
3. How could a reporter so ignorant of facts 1 and 2 know what a "Bent Spear" is unless tutored by someone who wanted them (and everyone else) to know the information?
Actually, the U.S. Navy uses that term to describe flying officers other than pilots. But your criticism is still valid, since we're talking about the USAF.
