One is a little surprised to keep hearing the idea of "exchange posts with the USN" as a panacea to keep FAA FW currency.
The key is in the word "exchange" .........
OK Maverick, we'll send some FAA chaps (possibly even
second generation war heroes
) to fly your F-18s and in return you can fly a pinger Merlin or (if you're quick!) a junglie SK!!!
You'll be fighting the Top Guns off with a Sh!tty stick ....NOT.
