I'm going to be a little more subtlethan AIDU was... (but he's dead right )
I'm not a candidate who doesn't know what such an aircraft is. My interviewer was impressed by the looks of his face....he tried to catch me out on certain points but he failed...I came out of that interview room with a smile on my face. I knew I had done good, infact, I was happy with what I did and I couldn't have asked for anything better.
I don't know the back end of a Hornet from a Tornado from a Tomcat (is there such thing?
) from a Hawk. If I haven't flown it, or flown on it, or photographed it at an air show - chances are I have no idea what it looks like.
I don't know how things exactly work over there, but over here, being able to list every military aircraft ever built is not the be-all and end-all.
Did you show them you also have a personality outside all those memorised facts?
