I'm a private pilot, too. Wouldn't that be great?

I'm a crew chief in the ANG and I've looked into this. Unfortunately, there is no dual program for dentists. I guess I'll just have to keep it a hobby. Besides, the military has a good way of taking the fun out of things.

However, in my research I did come across the AF's pilot physician program. It's extremely tough to get into (think D-School acceptance rates X Pilot selection rates). These guys are groomed to be pure awesomeness

(astronauts, personal physician to the president, Rick James). Check it out:
