Fighter Jet Pilot Gives Unfiltered Opinion On Bada** Helicopter Pilots

Published|Updated

Is there a friendly rivalry between fighter jet pilots and helicopter pilots?

I recently spoke with former F-16 pilot Jason Cooper on American Joyride about a variety of topics, and one that was fascinating was a brief chat about helicopters and the men who crew them.

Jason was quick to admit helicopters are a lot closer to the danger than fighter jets, and there's no doubt there is a ton of mutual respect between the two sides.

You can watch his comments starting around 59:00 and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
