Cheif Wiggam,
whilst I agree with your post, I must question one small part of it.
I think most GA pilots wouldn't appreciate the level of skill and professionalism that todays ADF pilots (particularly RAAF @ RAN) train to.
Why were Army trained pilots so conspicuously overlooked?
Not trying to flog a dead horse here, but hasn't that obvious misconception long been stamped out?
Just wondering.
