Military Aviation A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.

Perhaps it should be Military Aviation not Aircrew. How 'bout it Mods?

Two Winged Master Race A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, without whom there would be no need for the backroom boys and girls....... Army, Navy and Airforces of the World and even navigators are all equally welcome here - just as long as they remember their place.

Only 'Two Winged' BEags? You are obviously not thinking helicopter!

But would he be allowed in under the 'present tense' terms that he proposes?

SASless, you'll have MGD and A_A after you. And Al R.

But I agree with London Eye

Hey London Eye,

Without the backroom boys and girls you wouldn't have anything to play with or anywhere to take it to prove your Two Winged Mastery (bow, cringe, tug forelock). So you may feel free to turn your last statement round!!

PN, I should wish it was only a three man Posse that was after me in these parts!

The RAF continues to get down sized and the Posse will convert to a mere "Wanted Poster" on a Post Office Wall somewhere.

Should refuse to fix it next time he breaks it. That'll teach him to show respect.

For those who didn't work sufficiently hard at school to learn that irony isn't "..like goldy and bronzy, only it's made of iron" (as Baldrick once put it), I wasn't actually being serious about the Two-Winged Master Race proposal (which, incidentally, refers to the Flying Badge, not the configuration of one's aerial steed).

Perhaps Military Crewroom? PPRuNe comment has often been likened to the sort of things raised in crewrooms of yore, after all.

Well I must just be lucky, being a pilot and having complete confidence with the size of my penis to the extent that I seldom need to mention them together in the same sentence.

Doc, the way I read it, LE was refering to the present tense that BEages used and not to any limitation to 2-winged masters or otherwise.

I read it that BEages was meaning current and thereby excluding KOS like he and me.
