The Bird
Aside from the fact I last flew at 100’ and 500kts on Thursday should we at least get the word from a current RAF Herc pilot as to the relative merits?
You’re right that you will probably get more annual flying hours on the Herc than FJs nowadays, but should we talk about how many minutes/hours of actual hands on flying you get and how much of that is at LL?
150 hours of FJ flying in a year might be better than 90 minutes of hands on Herc time at LL in a similar period even if it isn’t at LL.
Obviously I am plucking numbers out of thin air but that’s why I say a current Herc person should comment.
As much as I believe you about the fun of LL rotary flying it’s outside the scope of the current conversation.
This isn’t about Willy waving but trying to pretend a Herc person will spend 350 hours at LL every year and that FJ pilots will be sat in the sim every day is a little disingenuous.
