Before I add my tuppence to this fine ongoing discussion, I would like to request that it doesn't create a backlash of abuse from certain quarters!
Lance, from my perspective, came onto this, a Mil flying forum, to ask for advice about the differences and similarities between Mil and Civ flying!
Now I am sure there are a few of us who can, and some who already have, given our best advice RE: the Mil side of things...
BUT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED I JUST COULDN'T GET ON ONE OF THOSE CIV FORUMS TO THROW MY WEIGHT AROUND REGARDING A JOB THAT I JUST DON'T DO!!
PS: I thought the conversation was getting a bit stale, bait cast!
