talk me out of it

I don't mean flying a specific aircraft, but are there known "savants" that everyone looks up to as far as piloting skills?

To expand, I know there are fantastic pilots across all branches and plane types. But, as with any disciple, say you have 500 golfers, everyone knows those few guys that are the best. When you google this sort of thing the only pilots that get recognition are those who performed exceptionally well in various historical conflicts.

So I'm not asking for names for obvious reasons, but are there those elite pilots that are known among the community for their exceptional skill?

EDIT: I guess what I'm asking is, WHO are the contemporary Mavericks of the US military's fighter jet community? TOPGUN? Test Pilots? Blue angels?

What replacement parts or fixtures have you bought that you thought were incredibly overpriced?

Just for fun, knowing what you know now, what business would you get into if you could start all over again?

Sorry if this post isn't allowed, but you accountants have some of the best financial advice on reddit.
