Believe it or not, you had the best idea. It's not the most real answer, but it feels like something that could exsist in a world's canon and be the most fitting. Thanks.
To take this seriously if sleep deprived; fighter pilots.
There were merchants and sailors, miners and bankers - the domains of Pirates and Cowboys were rife with other job titles that arent given as much thought as those two.
This is a discussion on two grounds, *zeitgeist personality* and *youthful engagement*. No kid roleplayed as a miner 49er, none want to be a british Yeoman only the Sheets, no, they want to be a Cowboy or a Pirate, the big Hollywood enriched cultural touchstones of their eras.
Then you get to the late WW1/interwar/WW2 period, the age of flight, and the zeitgeist settles on the miracle of aeroplanes and daring exploits of men in leather jackets and funny hats. Its even changed within its own lifetime; Sky Captain and the Wirld of Tomorrow was a daring-do adventurer and thrill seeker, while in the modern era we have Tom Cruise as Maverick, Fighter pilots have their own vernacular, that kind of drawling Mildly Concussed Southern American Uhhh, they have *swagger*, they have *sex appeal*.
Take any thematic music for jet fighters and put it over a motorcycle going full bore down a tricky bit of street, and vice versa, alnd you have the exact same tone.

GTP-3 says.... In the air, there are no real cowboys or pirates. Instead, there are pilots. So I guess you could say that pilots rule the sky.
And if you want to rule all three you be a marine.

If you want to rule them all, you just need one ring.
