I just recently watched Stargate Atlantis; ep 202; The Intruder, as opposed to just reading the summary here on Gateworld. Anyway it raised a good questin, where did Shepperd learn to fly F-302's?

I questioned this but i just assumed that he was trained on 302s when he got back to earth for promotion, thats why they were on the deady coming back to Atlantis.
knowing his character Shep probably asked for the training.
The Doctor: [leafing through a teen magazine] That won't last. He's gay and she's an alien.
Carter: You saying that it could be boobytraped?
Teal'C: Booby?

As a pilot, he'd know how to fly serveral different types of aircraft. In his list, he also mentioned the Osprey which is a Marine Corp VTOL airplane/helicopter combo.
Like O'Neill, Carter and Mitchell, he was probably already trained in how to fly a fighter plane, so he'd already have the skill to fly it, he'd just lack the experience (just like the ones Mini jack was teaching at the start of season 7). We haven't had a chance to see him in his dress uniform yet so we haven't gotten the chance to see his wings.

The writers may not know the distinction, since they gave him a credential of helicopters used across several of the military branches, not just USAF.

You could always just say, the controls are similairy to a regular plane, besides, how hard can it be to fly something
Up down left right forward, not that hard right?
It's a LOT more complicated than that. Especially the difference between choppers and jets.
HUGELY different. EVen jets fly differently to each other.
Generally, unless the USAF is a huge anomaly. Upon passing through Elementary Flying Training, a pilot gets streamed to EITHER Fast jet, rotary, or multi engine, the best flying the former, the 'worst' flying multi engine (of course they're hardly BAD pilots).
Shep should not be able to fly them.
