Gents,
Many thanks for the many replies, lots of great gen there to include in my future presentations and discussions on the topic. I'll send out a few PM's over the next week or so to some of you to expand on some points made if that's OK?
FWIW, my own experience of participating in, and instructing ET has been a very mixed bag. I have been taken apart by some very good FJ drivers, we have evaded with ease others. One Tiffie pilot managed to direct his wingman, give us running commentary of the effectiveness (or not!) of our formation manoeuvres, and effectively fight his own jet at the same time. Hats off to whoever that was!
On the other end of the scale, I've been up against Typhoon/Hawk/F3/Gripen pilots who, despite using the full capabilities of their aircraft against us, were unable to find us let alone successfully engage. This includes "on the towline" and bouncing us at unknown points on our route.
I guess it all comes down to man over machine?
Guzz.
