I thought this thread was about 'what civvies think of mil?' ...it's degenerated into 'my pen#s is bigger than yours' as usual!
Like anything in life, I guess some people are just naturaly good at something and some are not, some PPL flyers are crap and some are gifted aviators that given the opportunity could quite easily have operated a FJ.
I respect all Pilot's, whether they fly a glider or a Fast jet, we all share something in common.
