After watching several shows involving fighters and bombers, i was pondering
the following question. Do navigators-bombadiers or Weapons officers have to
have pilot training also? Such as the 2 crew of an F-111? Or are their jobs
distinctly unique and separate? Which military planes require that there be
an officer with a primary level of technical training, and a secondary skill of
piloting?

Also any list of Military aircraft which have the capacity to hold more than a
crew of 2 (transport and refuling craft excluded) would be of great interest.

Thanks,
Miles
