Civvy flying mil aircraft
Hi all
I'm a civvy new FI but would like to get into mil instructing perhaps in the future(long time need experience I know) but just doing some research.
How is it that civilian contractors can fly military aircraft? I think the Tutor guys that are civvys have EASA licences? I presume those guys flying hawks can do so without a rating etc.. Because they are contractor for MOD?
I always wondered about the CIvvy Instructors when a was a Viking VGS staff cadet. They aren't contractors or employed or anything. They just rock up as volunteers, fly cadets and have no ties to RAF or anything.
Cheers for any insights!
