I did feel very sorry for one of the guys on my Valley course. He had done his basic training in Fort Worth Texas on the Euro Nato Joint Jet Pilot Training Scheme (at least I think thats what it was called), then came over to do a UK Famil Course at Valley where he was chopped and sent to the Herc, while guys that he finished well above on the course in the states were posted F16.
Where are you now Tex?
