So if 6 pilots per annum are going to be trained on the Hawk T1 at Leeming, how/where will they do their weaponeering? Of course it was different when 4FTS was an AFS and all weaponeering was taught at TWU, but ever since the shotgun wedding of 'mirror image' and the ending of traditional TWUs, things are less clear. Particularly since all Valley weaponeering is now merely synthetic in nature.
Are these lucky 6 going to do some fast jet AFS at Leeming on the Hawk T1, then convert to the T2 to meet OCU entry requirements or will there be sufficient exponents of triggernometry to include a weapons phase at Leeming?
'tis indeed a crock - as those with any experience predicted it would be.
And how goes ME pilot training on the Phenom, assuming that there haven't been any more mid-air collisions?
I see MFTS is still trying to recruit BFTS instructors for Valley. What a surprise....
