Lind1795: I completely agree with you. As I already have said my son and his uni colleagues show great commitment to their UAS. They have virtually zero chance of a fast jet ride of any kind. I appreciate that times have changed but unfortunately I am also cynical about 'celebrity' endorsement. The air cadets get virtually no flying / gliding exposure so essentially they have become a blue uniformed version of the scouts / guides. I still maintain that it would have been better to give the eurofighter ride to an air cadet but fat chance I guess.
Cheers
