I fly at 500 KIAS at 500'. Flying my jet, I talk on 2 different radios (between ATC and my wingman), navigate, monitor my aircraft's performance, make sure I'm not running out of gas, double checking I'll hit the target +/- 10 sec, etc etc. Of course, it took nearly 3 years of training to get to that point.
What's my point, some of us have the ability to multitask. Not to start a fight here, even when I'm talking on my cellphone while driving (hands free device of course), I'm still a better driver than 80% of the road warriors out there.
