Great innit

Really very sad that a large majority of RAF undermine the credibility of their organisation....

but to come on PPrunE and describe the RAF as a bunch of self-serving c***s is out of order and frankly deserves such a tag.
As a crab, you'd obviously disagree.


The Army have always got on well with the RN, they share a very similar 'can do' ethic
Yep tend to agree. Percy and Jack speak the same sort of language.

A theory might be that helicopter aviators in the Navy and Army are seen to be at the top of their game whereas RAF heli types are seen as failed FJ pilots by their peers hence their chippyness? I dont agree with that theory because at the coalface/in the cockpit, we are all pretty much the same. Its only once you look at the higher echelons, you see the larger divisions. RAF are perceived to be very PR and marketing savvy to the extent of stitching up their counterparts in other services.

Higher up:

RAF - everything FJ
RN - everything that floats
Army - marching up and down and cocktail parties.

Quite cheap shots using examples of heroism to win an argument on here. Lets see how quickly some forget the bond of who supports who once we've left Helmand.
