You didn't land the F4, you controlled the inevitable crash.
QTIs in todays air farce are definately Q'd. They receive the same basic training from CFS and then specialise in their own ac type. They are also subjected to the ritual yearly upgrade/confirmation of Q status. The fact that they teach students in half the time that they used to is a poor reflection on the depreciation of the service we give students of today.
