In our case, sad in more than one sense. Our lad spent 3 of his first 4 years at a base where Light Dove Love-Jets (GR7s) grudgingly shared the airspace with our Chinooks and Pumas, and could tell the difference between a resident and a visiting Tornado without looking out the window. His recce skills improved to the stage where during our tour in Borneo, 2 times out of 3 he could tell the difference between a Singaporean 205 and our 212s just by ear. On Microsoft Crimson Skies he wipes the floor with aplomb. A natural in the making...
Only snag is: he's colourblind.
Bummer
