just curious, how many hours out of your 700, would have been in comand?

>"The military pilot has been through an exhaustive selection procedure followed by intensive training before he is let out by himself on a routine task."

civilian pilots do the intensive training before knowing that they will be weeded out by a companies exhaustive selection proceses. sort of ass about realy. but exploring the potential of the aircraft is part of the leaning curve which happends in the first couple hundred hours.
what would your average day (not everything you might get to do) of flying incorporate in the army? my impression of the army would be flying from a to b in formation and landing in a paddock that will occomodate a large amount of aircraft, is this a good assumption? a tour would be damn side harder but tours arnt normal. just curious
