Not a very enlightened view if I may be so bold?????
On further investigaton, you may discover a 2nd new thing today. MOST pilots and indeed Aircraft Commanders in the AAC are in fact SNCO's. They are not denied a career path as a pilot simply because they aren't graduate material who instead chose to join up straight into the ranks. You may even (gasp - horror!) discover a 3rd - that most QHI's within the Corps are these jolly competent NCO's types.
Spiffing these days isn't it, that they'll let the oiks do any old job..........



PS Commanders in an army helicopter sit in the left hand seat and the pilot in the right, but the cab can be flown from either
