Flyingrockdj (or should I say Neil), you should know better than the tripe you have been spouting above. RAF fast jet navs are weapons system operators and navs. Most of them that I have flown with can fly helos to a standard better than that of the average AAC pilot. Having thrown this can of gas on the fire.......I have been a QHI in the AAC for 12 years and in the RAF for almost 3 years...I feel qualified to make this statement. I seems to me the only whining and whinging going on is from the JNCO/SNCO elements of the Corps.
Chinook, say Hi to Bill Jarvis and remind him that he owes me some metal wings!!
