Talking

Pinger me old,

Not heard any banter about those who fly the lynx, is there any ? Isn't the Lynx a bit of a lonely existence for aviators? Would a frigate or destroyer normally have just 1 pilot and 1 obs on board?

Am I right in saying that the pingers have a secondary tasking which is SAR cover? Who does the cross-decking? Do the baggers do any of this?

Not having a dig at anyone with this one (as I'd dearly love to be a pilot), but isn't being an AEW pilot very very boring?

Sorry for asking so many questions .
