Hi Chris,

It is difficult to fly at night so as a result you have to rely on your instruments and pay close attention to them at all times. Pilots should also look outside the cockpit to look for any other aircraft or point of reference (if possible). Say for instance an airfield that is fairly close by can easily be seen and cross checked with a knee board map or a flight system. These day's pilots have a bonus of GPS, ILS, ATC and their own skills to help them acheive a safe landing. When you think about it pilots are trained well to flying at night, since most or initial strike missions occurr at night they must be very skilled to cope with any conditions. This is to say that al pilots are very skilled in what they do so they deserve the credit they get.
