Also, a Tomcat “driver?” Is that a thing?
- alabastervlog 2y ago> Also, a Tomcat “driver?” Is that a thing? Air Force nerd slang. [edit] and I guess also naval aviator slang if they use it, too.

Yup: https://www.quora.com/I-am-told-that-an-F-15-pilot-was-called-an-Eagle-Driver-Were-pilots-of-other-aircraft-Falcon-Drivers-or-Tomcat-Drivers-or-did-they-have-other-nicknames https://www.quora.com/I-am-told-that-an-F-15-pilot-was-calle... To qualify, my usage of the term was intended with nothing but respect. It also sounds cool as hell (IMHO), in similar vein to "gunslinger".
