They are a total waste of time space and oxygen as far as I am concerned ..
I was posted to CFS Flight Planning at Scampton in 92/93 and had to go in on a Sunday around 2.30 to check our Notam board for hazards if the reds were transitting back from a display .. I would have to check the return route and note any hazards around their track .. one of the pilots would then phone me and I would give him the gen .. half the time they wouldnt phone.
And I just loved it when I used to get home to find they had used the smoke in one of their slots and the wifes washing stunk of diesel !! .. made my life so much fun !!
Standing joke at Scampton at the time :
"Whats the difference between a Reds Hawk and a pair of boxers ??" .. you can only get one d**k in a pair of boxers !!
.. Not meant as a slur against the guys who fly the green and grey buisness end of the Air Force ..
