"I think you'll find the old 1FTS syllabus was about where things are now."
Just had a look at the old log book - out of 1FTS with 64.5 hrs (no form either, only the Army guys got it) and out of 2FTS with 223.4, probably about average.
The 1FTS flying included 6.3 IF and a GF23 with none other than FLTLT Shepherd. Guys on course used to be wary of him, but as I recall he was firm but fair, notwithstanding the 'Is he looking at me funny because I've stuffed up or is that just the twitch' factor.
