Us and Them...Them and Us!
Over the years I have met all sorts of ex-military pilots and have found them to be as surprisingly diverse as non-military pilots, both in attitude and ability. I would say the cross section is very little different from that of civilian pilots.
As for experience in little fingers, it all depends what you have been doing in the past and its relevance to what you are doing now; I have known plenty of airline pilots, now plodding the skies, who have in previous lives landed little aeroplanes on dodgy bush airstrips in Africa, or on remote Canadian lakes. Wing and a prayer stuff with no radio aids and no back-up. So is that any more or less relevant to doing a night landing in a howling crosswind at Gatwick or Berlin, than is roaring around at 250 feet in a Tornado? Please don't answer, I couldn't bear it!
We're all the same chaps. I refer you to my previous posting...only as good as your last landing, wherever you come from.
