Sunfish,
Quite some time ago, the then FAA Administrator (Admiral) Donald Engen, paid a visit to Melbourne.
He was very quick on the uptake.
On the return flight to US he made the following remark:
"You know, in US, if a person is a pilot we trust them. In Australia, if a person is a pilot, you mistrust them"
Pretty perceptive for about five days in the country.
