But to infer that the FAA and the AAC don't know how to manage and deliver safe aviation is just, I'm sorry, poor.
I think you miss the intended point
Engines, or at least as I've always understood it.
No-one (well, not me) questions the professionalism of the aviators of the other Services, but - crucially in my mind - aviation is only a part of those services, and rarely if ever seen as the most important.
My view is that when (financial) push comes to shove, the AAC in CGS's eyes will always lose out to tanks/regiments/more bayonets, and for 1SL boats and ships will always be more important than the FAA. Whilst CAS may (probably will
) prefer something fast and pointed to something rotary - at least it's air!
