I thought the program was very well done, especially the segments that conveyed the stress and pressure that the students were exposed to during training. As a Yank Air Force heavy driver I was also curious about why some of those students took 8-9 years to get to that point in their training. Are they counting 4 years of University? I entered the USAF in November 1985 and was awarded my pilot wings in March of 1987. If I had tracked fighters, it would have been about another year of various training until I hit an operational squadron, but 8 or 9 years seems excessive. Congrats to the two guys who got their F-35 and I would have given my first born to fly a jet like the Typhoon, so Danners should feel quite lucky.
