You 'aint seen me gov
 

Lightning Mates rather coy admission on another current thread that he was once on Jags (I'd never have guessed sweetie :ooh:) got me into thinking what military aircraft types would aircrew really be embarrassed to be on because of the banter from aircrew on other types. Clearly the past Jag and Gazelle fraternity still suffer a fair degree of stick for their 'sins' but what current/past types would you really not want to be on?

Cheers

Tornado F3 - a great disappointment after flying the F4

Anything with more aircrew than engines!

Except, that is, for the fine products of Airbus Military!

Or that POS and all-round aeronautical abortion, the Jetstream T Mk 1 !

Anything which is not single seat and doesn't have a trigger.:E

Anything where the drivers had bang seats and the workers didn't!

I heard that flying a Jaguar was a bit like having a w**k: it was all right when you were doing it, but if your mum found out it would be very embarrassing.:O

Starts with 'GA', ends in 'WACS'
Surely this wins hands down

LM - your perfect steed awaits :ok:

Just showed 'Shewhomustbeobeyed' and jointly responsible for off-spring Jag pilot your post - she nearly dropped her beer laughing!

Anything with 8 screws.

The Mark 1 then the Mark 2 is in service.

AEW3.

I thought that 8 screws were better than 4 blowjobs? :O

Jags eh, funny thing though, was the first sqn from uk in theatre when GW1 kicked off,. and yes I know tonnka's were there before us....... but there were in cyprus all ready........

12 Jags , ground crew , a R.I.C. , RAF field catering , all sorted in two days flat , once the air bribge got going.

could the tonnka have done the same in that time ???

What's wrong with the mighty Gazelle?!!

The aviation equivalent to an old Lotus Elan. Even painted racing green.
Perfect.

I saw those jags take off from Akro enroute to GW1 - it was scary. Air getting hotter as each one went and the last one got off about a gnat's cock from the end. Genuine curvature of the Earth stuff.

Should also mention that our UK F3 Sqn was in Akro before the jags, holding Q and could have been in sandland if needed. So there, ner!

I would have been desperately embarrassed to tow targets for a living:O, so the Canberra gets my vote.

It was two, anyway we had to do something to overcome our inferiority complex. Fly for hours, get no where. Crap radar, only good thing was the galley, the downside was the two main spars when carrying a tray of tea.

We used to have 5 gallon jerry cans of water and a hand pump to fill the kettle because the water tanks were supposedly contaminated - had been for years.

IIRC, only when we asked the question did they fix the tanks.

Despite the fact that they were brightest puce, at 19 I reckoned that being in sole charge of a whistling chicken leg from Culdrose to Predannack and back to CU was pretty good. Getting paid to do it - just amazing :}

Anything where the captain was a pompous t*at.

Anything requiring the crew to wet their pants rather than saunter back to the latrine.

Anything without the legs to fly to the USA in one hop.

Anything painted white.

Anything flown in blues.

BGG,

I presume that the last 2 digits of your total number of posts are a happy coincidence ;)

BGG

It possibly went to a commandeered Shorts Belfast out of Stanstead to Batin in Abu Dhabi around the end of August '90 ;)

Given the arbitrary Squadron number 69 as the loadies thought there was something fishy about it ...............
