Recent comment from a 78 sqn SK pilot on the FJ vs. helo question (and the benefit of having a small island in the South Atlantic to practice on):

"We can even practice fighter evasion with the F3s, something we rarely get to do anywhere else, and, yes, we do get away from them sometimes - the 120 kt speed and tight maneuverability of a Chinook can easily outpace an F3, which needs two counties to turn in..."
