Stoppers,

Is that Hermes with a 'p'?

I would have thought that all the surplus crews, Ps and Cmn, would go across to the '5' CH47 Flt? I know that's what they want, they told me..........

Surely that's where everyone wants to go? That's what they would tell you! :rolleyes:

I knew someone who had a bad case of Permes once :}

I know! It's all that Rum, Bum and Raccy.

I can't believe you muppets are even allowing this poor attempt at fishing to continue....



Faster Funnier. FUNGUS! :ok:

I heard the pilots are going chinook and its the crewmen who are be re-roled as Typhoon pilots !
Hurrah ... Typhoon will finally get some medals !

Oh god, I thought the NCA pilot lobby had crawled back under their rock...:ugh:

Bit confused here, I thought the whole reason Puma pilots were streamed rotary was because they were not clever enough for FJ so how could this daft idea actually work :confused:

It is common knowledge around the SH Force that Puma pilots were all streamed FJ, but chose instead the life of tents and sand, muck and bullets, tea and medals. The crossover to Typhoons will be a breeze for them - ACOS Manning have confirmed this morning that all re-roled Puma pilots will go direct to Cby to complete a bespoke, shortened re-role course as befits their immense talent and ability (and 90 minute bladders). After all, nobody can wear their sleeves rolled up quite like a Puma mate...:E

USMC crossover Whiskey pilot to Hornet
 

This reminds me of an article in Feb or Mar 98 edition of Air Forces Monthly where a USMC Major tells of his transition from AH-1W to F/A-18 jockey as with many of his colleagues as there are opportunities for rotary wing crews to re train as fast jet crews for a limited number in the Corps

Exactly as I recall the conversations.:ok:

(Shy, the billing address is the same!)

"Puma Relic's" display team?

Like the BBMF, but probably older

Well, as Puma crew are the pick of the bunch I dont see a problem!
I guess it will take them time to get used to the backwards step in performance.
Tiger - Tiger!

I hear they are all going green on the Wildcat, then of to AW in later life?

;)
I attended a briefing by an air officer last week and he stated that the Puma upgrade was going ahead as planned.

Apart from the Grey Wildcat fleet..... or are you saying that all of the Wildcats will be painted green....... Doubt it somehow

how high was your air rank? i bet mine was higher

I had a meeting with The Queen, God and Elvis just this morning. They assured me that Puma 2 would be scrapped and that all the pilots would go Typhoon. My knowledge is far superior.
