Gentlemen, Gentlemen,
Let's stop arguing over who are the better pilots! We all know the truth.......I've got to stick with Flaps on this one. Notwithstanding all the arguments already mentioned, why is it off-limits to F3 front-line geezers? Surely there aren't many operations the F3 is committed to? (by the way, that's supporting F3 mates!). Perhaps i'm wrong? Anyway, F3's know S!it about air combat! Don't forget, a fair few mud squadrons out there were once jousting with ME109's etc (by the way, that's supporting muddies). I say open it up, the posted reasons as to why not just don't add up.

Does it really matter who flies the things? As long as they are flown well - which I think they are. There seem to be a lot of sour grapes being thrown about. Sure we'd all like to fly a Spitfire or Hurricane, but there's no need to go around with the attitude of "Well if I can't fly them then I don't want anyone else to".
If you're an aviation enthusiast grow up and enjoy the displays.
If not, moan about flying suits or something.

Reichman, I do wish you would read more than the topic title before making an A**e of yourself and launching into print. Where in any of my posts does it suggest that "if I can't fly them no one can"?. I emphasise throughout that they do a marvellous job and must stay flying. The point is - who flys them not do they fly at all.
I also can't be bothered any more by continuing this topic, as the usual "well I can pee higher than you brigade" have started. Lets just remember that the core issue of my original post was that the BBMF should be open to application from all types. Unfortunately those less secure in their ability or role have decided to drag it down to the usual schoolboy level.
