And another thing
Why on earth would we tie ourselves down to requiring an ATPL and current airline or heavy experience when there is no requirement whatsoever for it. Would practice at throwing a 737 through a SID or ILS approach make for a better Vulcan pilot, I doubt it. A permit to fly ex-military aircraft requires a PPL, plain and simple, and what ever the CAA deem necessary for previous experience and refresher training. Discuss
