F-100 BAD! Pilots USAF beware! Too late now!

From the Internet web site Alert 5 and thanks to same.

"USAF study found that F-100 pilots are more likely to get cancer"

"A study by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory’s 711th Human Performance Wing found evidence that fighter pilots and crew members have a higher chance of being diagnosed with cancer."

"Researchers focused on four Vietnam-era warplanes, the F-100, F-4, F-105, and RF-4, to examine the rates of cancer among their crews."

Pilots having flown the American F-100 fighter-bomber during the period of the Cold War having the greatest concerns!

“'Male fighter aviators who flew the F-100 had greater odds of being diagnosed and dying from colon and rectum cancer, pancreas cancer, melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer, and brain cancer. They also had greater odds of being diagnosed and dying from thyroid cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, despite similar odds of diagnosis,' according to the study."

Further from the comments of an acknowledged aviation authority:

"Fighter pilots in general. It’s like sitting in a greenhouse on Mount Everest for an hour or two per day. Especially hard on eyes, with the unfiltered UV rays. Which is why pilots are always wearing primo quality sun glasses . . . we’ve been aware of the dangers of the sun on skin as well. Not much is exposed  nowadays with the flight suits, gloves and full cover helmets."

BUT WHY PILOTS OF THE F-100 MORE SUSCEPTIBLE THAN MOST?
