However seeing as how civilian controllers treat military pilots on this forum, I may well say "Ta-ra f**k knuckle" in future.
Lets see how THAT goes down shall we?

Looking to get a rise out of people QFI? I think you'll find that civvy ATC bends over backwards to help mil. pilots,even if we do give you grief on an internet forum for not listening out on frequency,dropping at 7000fpm to 1000 above coordinated civvy traffic setting off a TCAS alert,flying RIGHT up to the edge of the TMA leaving me twitching as to whether you'll turn away from my traffic or not,or whatever else has got me wound up this week. We work closely and effectively at ScOACC with our RAF colleagues to get you transits accross extremely busy aispace often at the cost of expedition of civilian traffic.Think about that the next time you route from Valley almost direct to Leuchars in your non RVSM aircraft at FL340.
Ta-ra f**k knuckle is good though! It would make me laugh anyway.
