The difference between an RPT pilot and a RAAF pilot is simple.
RPT Pilot flies from A to B.
A RAAF Pilot flies from A to drop bombs on B.
I'd much rather get 700 hrs in an F-111 than 700 hrs in a 737, however Australia would never be able to afford it unfortunately. My hat goes off to the guys and girls in todays RAAF.
