I read your posts here a few times just to make sure where you are coming from. The anti AAC banter is par for the course and the Apache is always good for a cheap shot, especially as you dont get to sit in one. What isn't ok though and far less than cheap, is the sneery, sarcastic and derogatory remark about the Gliders and Pilots from WW2. It pretty much breaks the golden rule of Military flying to slag off our predecessors regardless of service. The Glider Pilots of WW2 were a skilled lot not lacking in bravery, just imagine having one chance to make a paricular field next to key bridge under heavy fire.
The soldiers first thing was part of the ethos, the Pilot after landing integrated into the fighting force and in some cases was the senior in charge. Good and efficient use of manpower in war.

So Crab in my opinion you're either young and stupid or a slimeball with no respect. Keep to the topics.

Whipping boy - Guess you've got it about right there!
