...and because the military pilot usualy has ( thank god ) naff all else to do all day but practice...
Yeah, right

If only that were true. You have obviously not served, or have not done so for quite a while, if you think that mil aircrew do nothing but fly or sim! I would like nothing better than to do flying-related training all day, rather than stats, nif-naf and trivia, stats, secondary duties, stats, stats and more stats!
MadMark!!!
P.S Nice to hear from Julius Dexter Nettleship again
