Junglydaz - there were plenty of SNCO pilots when 3BAS existed but when they were subsumed into the RN they had a choice - commission or leave but I don't think many of them rushed off to university or Dartmouth.

As for the AAC - stitchbitch, perhaps you haven't noticed since the introduction of the Apache, the balance has swung very firmly in the direction of officer pilots. And that mixed fleet is soon to be 2 types, Wildcat and AH with a couple of aging Gazelles (if they can keep them serviceable) - and not very many of each either compared to the 90s.
