No need for your tin hats!!!

Hey L J R and Surditas,

No need for the tin hats fellas - I have no intention of rushing off to join 34 Squadron only to have a computer fly around for me! (What could be more boring than flying around Johnnie, Mr. Downer and all the boys?)

There is a method to my madness - I'm off to do Specialist Testing for RAAF - Pilot in a week and a half (24/9) and as part of the testing, I'm required to have a pretty good understanding of the who, what, when, where and why of all the Aussie squadrons. Although I may not be questioned on these until December/January, I thought I'd better get started on it, so as you can see, I'm purely researching!

Thanks very much for the info guys, better than what I could find on the internet!

Oh, and just before I go, L J R and Surditas, have no fear - All I can think of is a Hornet cockpit. Like I said - why waste time flying Johnnie around, when I can cruise about 100 ft AGL @ 500kts? (Makes my skin crawl everytime I think of it.)

Thanks again guys, and I might see you round someday... somewhere...

Cheers,

Souls.

P.S > Might want to reconsider on those tin hats boys - heard that they aren't much protection against Mk.84 2000lbs. LGB's!!!
