They must have offered a discount as well as liking the look of the spreadsheet.
It seems they might be ok as long as they steer clear of the Israelis.

If I was on an aircraft, and it was bad weather, lightening, bad winds above 6,000 feet and 30 mile cross winds on the runway......I myself would want Navy pilots in the cockpit. Yeah.....I might be a little bit prejudiced. I think the world of Navy Aviators, they hold a special place in my heart.
I have always heard good things about Navy pilots - both fixed and rotary wing folks. They have to be good to be at sea and fly in the weather and conditions that they fly in.
If I had to be in the backseat of a fighter aircraft and get shot at by single or multiple missiles.....I would want a Navy Pilot in the front seat. But that is just me.
Regardless of what branch of the Military has it.......The F/A-18 is my FAVORITE aircraft. So......Go Navy.
It is just a movie, but one of my favorites.....the underdog excels in the end of the movie and comes out on top.

Yeah, well.....as far as I am concerned, US Naval Aviators have no equals ; but that is just my opinion.
Naval Aviators cast their own shadow and stand alone when it comes to flying an aircraft. US Naval Aviators......is what other aviators want to be...but again, that is only my opinion.

Go put this in a defense forum or something, it doesn't belong here.
It's extremely funny how we keep hearing about the "imminent demise" of Israel by terrorist states like Iran and the antisemites. Truth is, Israel isn't even flexing it's little finger.
Israeli Air Force Ranked Mightiest in the World
“Then David said to the Philistine, ‘You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.’” (1 Samuel 17:45)

The Israeli Defense Forces is the strongest military in the Middle East in spite of its relatively small size, according to a new ranking by Business Insider. The Israeli Air Force was ranked as not only the best air force in the Middle East, but in the entire world.
Once considered the underdog of the region, the IDF has come along way since its inception some 66 years ago.
The ranking of Middle Eastern armies were based on various criteria such asstrength, budget, size of standing army and number of tanks and aircraft. Other criteria included battle experience with both conventional armies and asymmetrical forces, of which Israel has plenty.
A similar report published earlier in the year ranked the overall military strength of the top 11 militaries in the world. The IDF came in at number eleven. In the earlier ranking, the Turkish military came in eighth, followed by South Korea and Japan, with Israel ranking last.
In spite of the obvious discrepancy, there is little doubt that the IDF is definitely one of the top military powers in the world.
The high overall rankings of the IDF are attributed in part to the “energetic domestic defense industry (which) gives Israel a qualitative edge over all of the region’s other militaries.” Other factors include Israel’s space assets, advanced fighter jets, high tech attack drones as the claim that Israel has nuclear weapons.
While the size of the standing army of the IDF is small (176,500 active frontline personnel or ‘afp’) when compared with other regional powers such as Egypt, (468,500 afp) Turkey (410,500 afp), Saudi Arabia (233,500 afp), Syria (220,000 ), Iraq (271,500) and Iran (545,000), the IDF is praised for its ability to rapidly mobilize its reserves on relatively short notice.
The IDF is also noted for its experience in “securing a few of the most problematic borders on earth,” and for never having “attempted a coup or ruling the country directly, unlike several others on this list.”
“Pilot to pilot, airframe to airframe, the Israeli air force is the best in the world,” said Chris Harmer, a senior naval analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, and with the soon to be delivered state-of-the-art F-35’s the rating should only increase.

However, one of the items that the report neglected to consider is the IDF’s naval prowess. With six new submarines considered to be among the most sophisticated conventionally powered submarines in the world, and which are capable of carrying a combined total of up to 16 torpedoes and Submarine Launched Cruise Missiles (SCLM’s), the naval branch of the IDF vaults the military might of the country even higher.
The cruise missiles on board the Dolphin Class submarines have a range of at least 1,500 km (930 miles) and are widely believed to be equipped with a 200-kilogram (440 lb) nuclear warhead containing up to 6 kilograms (13 lb) of plutonium.
The latter, if true, would provide Israel with an offshore nuclear second strike capability, something that currently only seven other countries in the world possess and one of those, Pakistan, did not make the list of the world’s strongest armies.
To put that into perspective, a Dolphin Class submarine sitting in the Haifa harbor could potentially fire a Cruise missile that would land a mere 70 kilometers outside of Tehran, thus creating a very palpable deterrence for any local or foreign power to outright attack Israel.
Ya think?
They do train in the USA after all with the GOD Damn US Military
Funny thing is they claim to be the ones training us. It's hilarious. We provide them with all equipment, almost all their weapons systems are based off Western projects. The only thing they do is tweak the avionics, they mass produce US design payloads. The F-16, F-15 is American. Their submarines are German. Their ballistic missiles(defensive and offensive) are all American. Jericho missiles are rip off's of minutemen US short range ICBM. Their tanks(merkava) are based off M1 Abrams platform, their rifles are based off American m16/m4 platform. Their drones are rip offs of US drones, recently they have been making some of their own, but the armed ones are mostly US tech. Their helicopters are American helicopters. Their nuclear reactors were created by France. Their anti-tank missiles are based off US Javelin platform. I can go on and on ...
Yawn. Here's another one of those that can't handle Israeli success. They always come crawling out of the woodwork...
Military Aviators from across the world, and the US are good at their jobs ; I have trust and faith in them. I am in awe at their missions and accomplishments; even the British in the Gulf War - Desert Storm ; which I was a part of.
General Schwarzkopf even credited the British Tornado's for a excellent job, maintaining a terrific readiness posture, and a great number of missions accomplished. If I remember right - they were second highest in mission count and mission success with Tornado Aircraft doing 90% of the missions.....ground and air attack... for the British Military.
That being said..... U.S. Naval Aviators stand next to no one buck-o.

When the terrorist state of Israel falls......the whole world is going to celebrate. ......
When will it rise as there is no proven terrorist state of Israel, this is just islamonazi propaganda and blood libels. Which civilised nation has declared Israel to be a terrorist state ?

They would find it hard to do so if they where flying at mach 2, or stood on the deck of a carrier

First use of nukes is first use of nukes.
