Well, is this sufficient for you, F*cks 2?



This was led by the late 'Reichmann' - killed in the Canberra T4 accident at Wyton a couple of years ago. An RAF FCA flying club formation trip - flown to civil limits. We also flew the same formation to RIAT last year.

You won't find many civil FIs bragging that they chopped someone - and remember that there is no such thing as a bad student, but there are many bad QFIs! Take that as you will, Arters!

Military instruction is driven by budget, civil is driven by students' funds. Although military pilots are generally superior to most of their civil counterparts (and they darn well should be, given their selection processes!), I consider that RAF theoretical training is really rather poor these days. At least at elementary level.....
