Yep - this is an absolute yawn of a willy-waving contest!
Guys,
Give it a rest and get on with doing the best you can with what you've got, of course, while asking for what you haven't got but which really need.
Don't spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder at other aircraft and their successes and/or problems!
Good hunting whatever type you fly!
Always be one step ahead of the enemy!
