It is not so much the removal of the type that really rankles it is the underhand way that the personnel have been treated and betrayed by our lords and masters. I have no doubt the sqn personnel would have plans, career paths etc laid out (certainly in what they are aiming for - not that PMA would give a rat's ass) which have all been blown out of the weeds.
Those at the top should have a F$%^&*g word with themselves.
On a much lighter I can confirm to all and sundry that flying a Total Plus Jag in +45 is a frightening experience and Jackonicko's was DEFINITELY over egging the performance. The damn thing would barely hold 430 at full dry today. Good job the blowers at a huge increase to the thrust.... oh no wait, that's no it at all
Make the send off worthy and hope the Jaguar spiwit lives on....
