What is an ex-military type jet rating? Is that the same as a current military type rating?

Being a military jet pilot and being a fighter pilot at 2 different things. You, Rockie and I are/were military jet pilot, but only he and myself are fighter pilots.

I know who Col Boyd and he and his theories were very relevant for his time. The world changes and we need to adapt.

Ask your co-pilot, he can help you with
questions like that.

And you don't find that more interesting
than driving an airplane?

Sure AuxBatOn, but according to Col Blunders flying combat fighters in the air force wasn't as tough as flying a Pitts, his Daddy told him so.

mdh - we are honoured! You splashed a
MiG in the Gulf, right?

You're boring Hedley. Auxbaton and I don't always agree on some things, but he's the genuine article and commands infinitely more respect from me than a wannabe clown like you.

Amateur.

I wish I could tell you how much your
respect means to me, Rockie.

Well you sure as shit haven't. Which is kind of the point.

And in fairness I did ask if you've done any of this?

No? Oh well.

I did like that cute L39 though. Real combat pilots use those to train right?

I'm content that it doesn't Hedley.

Ex-military jet ratings are a way for extremely rich people to pretend they're fighter pilots, albeit in a training wheels L39. Hedley is a master at channeling that fantasy.

It's not as easy as it sounds.

OOooooh, feel the jealousy from the private pilot in Toronto

Or did you ever get your licence?

mdh · Post by **mdh** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 8:21 pm

Did I say I was a pilot? I don't think so.

I am what you might call...an aviation hobbyist.

Did you lose your license?

Alright, boys....enough. Back to your rooms and don't come out until dinner.
