True, and it's anecdotal, but I've seen quite a few good stories from various fighter pilots and I honestly can't think of something similar from other lines of work.

I mean, I've obviously seen good storytelling from journalists and writers, but they've often spent lifetimes honing their craft.

I wonder if it's the focus and awareness that gives pilots such a potential.

“Great stories happen to those who can tell them.”

Survivor bias. Squared.

Oddly, good storytellers also don't have a spleen. Weird.
