I cannot conceive that any fighter pilot should eve be imbued with high levels of humility (nor should it be so), but is there a 'nice' type of (more) humble pilot? I can see why (for istance) Puma pilots have a lot to be modest about, but in other types as well, who rules the roost - for instance, VC10 pilots or Tristar drivers? And how is Typhoon pride bedding in? With fewer other types to wave one's willy at, and relentless tempo, is pride in one's type actually diminishing on the surface?
Doesn't matter, really. They all look the same on the end of the rescue hoist
