Champagne anyone...?
Marvellous stuff. Keep it up chaps.
As bottom feeding truckie scum I wouldn't dream of commenting on the relative merits of whatever it is you're talking about. What on earth is a GR4?

The war has been tough as you suggest. Managed 4 days at home before being sent back here. If I was a brave jet hero I'd get to live in a tent or something. Sadly I've been forced back into this splendid hotel and have been given another pile of cash to burn/urinate up the wall
It's not Bolly, it's Dom Perignon and at very competitive prices too.....

GR4telichero. Oh dear.
You’d think that if you were going to the effort of registering a new name for the purpose of the thread you’d make it amusing. Oh, is that a clever play on GR4telicmate’s alias? Yeah, good one. If GR4mate is the spotty boil on the a*se of the Tonka fleet, I’d guess you are the F3 equivalent.
I really enjoyed your rantings and particularly your delusions of grandeur. I am a two-seat mate and I didn’t go single seats because I wasn’t good enough. But I certainly don’t remember any prospective F3 mate being any higher up the food chain at Valley. All the boys I know in your fleet (assuming you are a real interceptor pilot) are good blokes who wouldn’t hesitate to get in the thick of it given the chance, as shown by the crew who stood in as a wingman for one of our pushes to Baghdad.
You, however, are not.

You've missed the point totally
To add my opinion if I may. I thimk the real heroes are those that slogged it out on the ground first and foremost.
If you want heroes in the air, then it must be those that went 'sausage side' with a furry seat with with armrest rather than a bang seat. To be engaged by AAA and SAMs in an airliner is a little more worrying than in a little wizz jet with your energy and defensive aids.
Long live multis

A quick thought.......
In this day and age is there a real need for vast amounts of DCA aircraft? What credible foe are we likely to face in the future that will need fighters? Secondly, why are we buying 232 Typhoons without a multi-role capability off the shelf? Surely this little fracas in the desert has shown that swing-role aircaft are the way forward (F15E,F18E,F16CG all of which can defend themselves and thus negate the need for dedicated DCA)
