Not sure that DS is in the military at all. If he is then he clearly hasn't grasped todays economic and social clime. Maybe he is a SAC with aspirations of grandeur. Maybe he should have studied harder at School.

Working Hard.
I don't really see where you're coming from with your post at the top of this page. Are you suggesting that the replies you listed are silly?
As for LL urban training- it can't be done in the UK. We are trying to minimise disturbance to those on the ground, not enrage them!

I felt the need to comment about your posts as reading through this thread you quite clearly dont know what you are talking about with reference to low flying. OK so that is good reason to find out some info, but dont add spurious information which is incorrect. With reference to your post on page 1, you claim that us mil types, dont bother with mode C and are not required to do so at low level. YOU ARE WRONG, and as such, you do your credibilty no good, when you claim that you want a 'balanced' and comprehensive understanding of why we low fly. Another chestnut of yours is to practise low flying over built up areas, what had you been smoking when you suggested that one?? If you want a serious response, then ask some serious questions.

Crossbow, thanks old bean, I will keep my nose to the grindstone and maybe one day my 'aspirations' will materialise.

The various quotes you gave on the whole seem reasonable to me. What exactly do you feel "does not help your [MOD's] cause"?

Low flying is a vital skill which needs to be practised and is highly regulated. Take a look at the "Low Flying" video on the RAF website.

WH,

You have freely criticised others for having a poor grasp on reality, but I think you have clearly shown to all parties interested in this thread that it is YOU, sir, that is struggling to understand. I think you will find that all military users of the UKLFS do so with the utmost respect for the rules. Your posts smack of jealousy and expose you as the idiot that you clearly are.

Talking

How do you recognise Dirty Sanchez is a FJ mate, you don’t have to, he will come and tell you.

I used to know annoying little Harrier jocks who sounded like you when I flew a real aeroplane just down the road from their jumpy hidey little hole at Wildenrath, they thought they were God’s gift too……………………

Working Hard,

While agreeing entirely with your post (the latter one on DS) I do have a little bit of bother with your last paragraph;

“Despite your obvious ire we are not yet a military dictatorship”

Actually, if you think about it, you are.
