You can say whatever you like but you won’t be able to prevent many of us from thinking you’re a gloating, miserable old (possibly) git!

As for the kool aid remark, I'm afraid you’re a little wide...

Spare a thought.

I bet it does wonders for the confidence and morale of the trainee pilots on the courses being discussed herein, to have the quality of their training being constantly called into question by the...

Shut the front door.

Do you really mean to tell me that the much maligned training system is actually up and running and that certain individuals who no longer serve may not have their fingers firmly on the pulse?!

Remind me when you last flew a military FJ? You can prattle on about EFT and ME all day long since I (unlike you) won't pretend I know anything about a part of the system I am not...

OAP.

The simplest way I can think of to answer your question is to state that the input standard and output requirement have both changed drastically. It is therefore nigh on impossible to...

It's far too easy to look into the future and see nothing but doom and gloom. That just makes us feel miserable.

I believe the real choice is exactly as I said. If you have read the conversation then I'm not sure how you came up with your scenario. As someone else alluded to, a Hunter with modern...

Cheap shot BEagle! ;)

I've never debated if it was bigger back then. Those who remember it will all undoubtedly say it was better.

I think it's best for all of us that you lot are ex-aircrew. That's banter by the way.

Chopper.

Anything with a spinning roof is inherently wrong.

Remember in simple terms an aeroplane should land and then stop. Not stop and then land.

LJ.

Whilst I agree the PC21 is better looking than the Texan it can't really be described as a sister. Distant cousin maybe?

Looks aside, the PC21 is far more aeroplane than you need. T6 is...

Regardless of the Hawk T1 OSD there would be absolutely no sense, now or ever, flying a bridging course on a T1 before flying a T2.

Try looking at it as a whole package (Prefect, Texan and T2)...

I'm afraid you and a few others betray your slight lack of knowledge on the subject. The T6C is not intended to replace the Hawk T1. Students currently move from Tucano straight to Hawk T2. IV Sqn is...
