I'll get me coat then...
Well I'm not a pilot and not strictly military - just been involved with British ( & export ) flight testing airframes & weapons / fuel tanks, guidance systems etc; shall I clear off then ?
Watch out for PIL lasers, the next big threat I feel for all types - military & civil -with wings !
Then I dunno nothing, not a pilot, just had to recover to base when el glamourous piloto ( civil ) conked out on me, and spotted a few potentially nasty snags when with military Test Pilots...Anyone however skilled can miss the simplest thing on a bad day, and maybe even prats like me can be useful sometimes - I'd be happy to have a 'not a pilot but a bit involved' symbol.

It was near 12pm and I was tired - that's my excuse anyway!
I truly sympathise Dino - I often feel like that just before lunch!

PS And even more so after lunch ....

1.4G, you forgot:
Oh and glad rag, it's 'Spartacus', incidentally - and I am not he!
- Arses who insist on calling the F35 'Dave'.
- Anyone who uses the word 'plane' instead of 'aircraft' or 'aeroplane'
- Those who think wearing sand coloured clothing makes them into SAS warriors
- Technogeeks who know all about the latest arms salesmens' glossy lies
- Apostrophe abusers
- Those who cannot master a shift key
- Etc etc!!

Hmm.... as an ex-sqn ldr scribbly and now a pilot (albeit in the civvy world) I guess I'll have to create my very own forum so that I can talk to myself without upsetting the likes of Lossie.

Why yes, I am a zipper-suited sun god - he of the 3-foot zipper! I am perfect & never make any mistakes either.

That's the idea Dallas, but couldn't we take the button idea further? Everyone has their picture taken in their piggy jim jams, and the button is made from the photo...
...that way everyone would know to pay attention to the chap in the snug fitting wyncyette rompers in a tasteful shade of green with extra wide wings (for night time comfort), whilst pouring scorn on those who wear plain old groundcrew light blue ones.
Extra attention could be paid to those with excessive amounts of gold braid on the arms, chocolate medals on the chest, and asbestos seat.
I'd also appreciate a termination (as noted in another post) of the use of Dave/DaveB for the new aircraft, as I find it quite upsetting to log on to see thread titles that suggest I am experiencing problems I was previously unaware of.

Is it still holding true that VC10 Loadmasters are not allowed to put power on the Aircraft?
