Well said!!!!!!

Long time Jag Ops mate, with a smattering of other fleet involvement in my career, and although i met some bloody good blokes on the other jets, the Jag pilots were the salt of the earth.

Im not slating any other fleet, but Jag pilots were born with what seemed to be an in-built sense of humour, i remember a huge row at flossie over jet allocation, ending in a roasting for me from one particularly objectionable Sqn Ldr who had not been on sqn long. Bill P (a sqn ldr then) waited for room to empty and said its ok, hes not a real jag mate, he used to fly V****** !!

He then took me flying on more than one occasion,and other than scaring me witless diving on one poor unsuspecting trainee QWI, showed what he did best.

I had a few (ok lots) of back seats and without doubt was always treated like they really wanted me there, and they made u feel part of the trip, "Your air tragic you work the radios" lol

Hope none works out who am i am! and i hope no one sees the need to slag the post off.


Respect Jag mates!
