If ETPS can safely and economically operate small numbers of foreign jets (such as the Alpha Jet or Grippen) then why cannot NFSF(FW) operate say a couple of borrowed AV8Bs
To answer your (off topic) question - ETPS is a professional organisation of highly trained test-pilots and support staff that are well qualified in safely operating many different types of aircraft. They are well supported by industry and have reliable government funding.
NFSF(FW) are a bunch of gash pilots that tool around in Hawks for no real reason anymore. Does that answer your question?
Now, back on track: Does anyone like Jaffa Cakes? I really like Jaffa Cakes but I prefer beer. Beer is nice. I once met a real navy pilot once and he was nice too, so I thought I would devote my time to posting about navy jets on the internet even though I have never worked with them. Maybe I can post a link to a navy pilot who once flew in the Falklands and has a balanced view of all things Joint in military aviation...
