Default Prince William got his RAF wings.

I'll tell you this, Dip****, in Gulf War 1, when US planes were dropping laser
guided bombs from 20k ft, the RAF was hauling ass in to heavily defended
airfields at a few hundred feet to drop "runway denial" munitions.


Well, when the RAF catches up on the technology, I'm sure it will be able to
drop laser-guided bombs from 20,000 feet, too.

I don't think they need to hang their heads in shame in the presence of
pilots from any other air force in the world.


They have nothing to be ashamed of, but not much to be proud of, either.

I'll also add that the WORST pilot in the RAF is a better pilot that you will
ever be.


Even if that were true, it wouldn't be saying much. I don't think military
pilots measure their own skills by comparison with mine.

Do I detect the bitterness of some jerk off who was born into a fairly privileged
family and blew every opportunity he had?


No, you detect the dislike for injustice of someone who believes in the Golden
Rule and fair play.
