I had a similar experience at Linton but noted that those studes that had QFI's who were either ex FJ (or creamies) as their principal instructors tended ending up on the list going on to Valley.
From my experience with a principal QFI who was very proud of his Coastal Command heritage (ex Shacks) and a secondary who was a former Vuncan co-pilot my chances of being taught to fly anything remotely FJ was limited.
Therefore it was no surprise for me to end up at METS.......
Perhaps civilian instructors with a FJ background WILL work but that is not a sustainable model as where are the next gen of ex mil FJ instuctors to come from? They certainly won't grow on trees! Even fewer will actually want a permanent posting to VY!!
So sad and predictable.
