Ready ! Set ! DogFight !

During the Cold War the pilots would have to fight air to air combat. If I was the pilot flying that plane I would be saying my prayers and hoping for the best. My state of mind while flying the plane would be being invincible because then I would have the confidence to defeat the other pilots. While being in the air though I think the pilots would of been scared for their lives and would not know what to expect to happen because their opponents could be unpredictable. Since the pilots are trained some may not have that much of a fear to fight the other planes.
