Personally I think that RAF pilots are very good, although I also believe that the FAA pilots are talented and professional too. But which is better; there only one way to find out ............

so pistols at dawn it is...

Best Pilots
 

Clearly, the Royal Australian Air Force C130 Hercules crews are the World's Best. Operating C130 aircraft to all quadrants of the globe for nearly 53 years and never lost an aircraft. Anyone know of another group with that sort of record? I doubt it!!!!:ok:

If thats your claim to fame hoppy - best you stay down under:ugh:

Surely one of the best claims is flying an S71 for 14 hours at 86000 on benzedrine - no?

SR 71.
 

That thing isn't an aircraft, it is a missile. BTW TC, it's "Skippy", not hoppy. :ok:

With a title like that, one just has to post...........but who in their right mind would ask a bunch of aviators who is the best?

So to put the record straight - it's plainly the SH Force

The Best
 

Maybe we should not be looking at who is the best, but :uhoh: we should be looking to improve those that are not so good and learning from each service as to what is the best way of doing something. Yes! the best can get involved in this because if they really are the best then they will be able to consider a different/better approach to carrying out an exercise. And then everyone can go home and let the royal AIR force get on with the job. :O.

Mmmm Nice,

thats not fair. The new generation of AD guys will soon be getting a new Pizza medal to wear at functions with the old and bold who got theirs in the 90's.

You cannot seriously include Americans in this list- how many blue on blues?? Used to make me nervous when I heard an American overhead.!!

Norfolk Inchance,

the Americans have maintained their standards scince WWII.

Read somewhere, someplace, some time ago of the statement from a groundpounder in WWII, that when the Brits (read all Commonwealth) came over the Germans would duck, when the Germans came over they would duck and when the yanks came over everyone would duck.

Trim Stab

Really?

They did manage to bomb Switzerland nearly 50 times!
