Suggest writing to the programme makers telling them they need to do more research. The pilot was most certainly a rogue, and one with whom certain members of the squadron refused to fly.

I understand your point. Perhaps we can hear more from Mad Max's EWO friend?

Of course, but the level of deatail into which the weapons school (WIC) goes far exceeds anything you'll find in a typical threat briefing. Importantly, the WIC is placing more and more emphasis on understanding 'the bigger picture' behind large-scale operations like OIF. Finally, it enables graduates of the programme to come back to the squadrons and teach the latest techniques and tactics to non-WIC aircrew.

Tarnished

Fair 'nuff. Just vacantly thinking aloud.
