'morning Thud. Did I hear my name?
That's got nothing to do with LNAA - different George.
I always thought the flying pay we got in the military was 'danger money' because flying was potentially very dodgy!
...so I quite like getting paid mainly for hanging around, chilling out, waiting to fly (you know; sar, police, hems) rather than clocking up 1000's of hours boring dodgy holes in the sky!
..hence only about 270 hours a year. (30 years though!)
