Aviator

Flying for the Navy can be a thrilling and a very dangerous career.

These naval aviators train tirelessly to protect our country from domestic and international threats. Continuous and sometimes exhaustive training by these aviators help prevent major accidents leading to a fatality or injury and with it the waste of taxpayers money. The last thing anyone wants is an aircraft crashing and killing a pilot or anyone else. Naval aviators who are involved in an accident are not allowed to file a lawsuit against the U.S government. However naval aviators are allowed to sue the manufacturer of the aircraft or a product which resulted in the accident.

Barnstormers were “the most exciting daredevils of their day” (Onkst). This was the first form of civil aviation in our recorded history, and these performers were the greatest fad of the mid 1920s.
