Perhaps DBTW can explain why the ex-USN F-14 RIO who did RAAF pilots course and passed 2OCU wanted out of the fast jet world asap.

I would guess it's probably because the RAAF fast jet world do things better than the rest of the world, even the yanks. After all what would the Americans know about operations......

I stand by my original statement that DBTW is out of touch with today’s students, after all he was the CO of a fighter SQN, I can't imagine he would have much time for the students at 2FTS.

Oh and to respond with your rather disparaging remark that I must have slipped thru the cracks. I have been slipping thru for 15 years now and while I did have a dabble in the fast jet world, I could not be happier with my career post Willy town. Overseas operational command, doing the real job, not just visiting Vegas, Alaska and the training area.
