The J vs K Thread. Pacifists keep out.
Like the Title says. There's too much vitriol between the mighty fleets on various threads around PPrune. Instead of spreading it around, keep it here. Keep it public info only. And let the pr*ts who think it's in-fighting keep out.
The 'J' isn't cleared to be useful. The 'K' is too old to make use of it's clearances. Let banter commence. :E |
But surely the A400M will solve all of our woes ? :E

Here we go again.
Oh, well, in for a penny...... ALL J CHIMPS ARE [email protected]!!!!!!! :) :E 16B |

OTTB hoping that his much used cartoons will stop the highlighting of lack of K flyability (my word - TM pending) is a waste of bandwidth methinks.

Just heard the Lyneham Gate Guardian was to be removed for use as the latest MR4A testbed and was due to be replaced by xv199, unfortunately Marshalls are unable to guarantee this aircraft being ready on time and this task was re-allocated to the J fleet.
Due to operational overstretch this cannot be covered it has been sent out to contract and the space will be filled by the wooden A400m from farnborough Airshow, pending trials by QinetiQ. |
From the RAF News (03 Mar edition). http://www.rafnews.co.uk/default.asp?channel_id=117
Lyneham-based 70 Squadron will be the lead squadron for the RAF detachment in Kandahar. At least they're finally managing to get the old bird back on a det though, there's one consolation. Or at least - they're planning to get the old bird back on a det. It would be awfully embarrassing if the aircraft fell over (again) at the last minute after that RAF News centre page spread... :O |
It never came OFF the det. Politics ensures that a song-and-dance accompanies any J det - whereas we just quietly get on with the work.
Agree that the J would be better suited to AFG, although the K has no real perf probs, even in summer months. 16B |

Please enlighten us with a song-and-dance example. |

Have you SEEN the RAF News ....conveniently omitting what it CAN'T do. 16B |

it's the FIRST TIME in a LONG TIME that the K has featured prominently Not that you've got there yet..... |

Too much too quickly could be a shock to the system. |

At least we get to actually FLY for MCT...
...instead of 'pretending' in the Sim. 16B |
Regretably, very little of what I've done in the last 12 months has been operational. Plenty of opportunity though should I ever decide to escape from the sims, and when I do visit the tents I rarely see my old type on the dispersal....
It is a waste of aircraft though imho to keep people current just so they can fly MCT and keep current - to fly MCT. |
