Put a competent pilot in a Korean War Mig 19 ans he will wax that multi million dollar flying dumptruck evertime
Had the Argentinians used properly trained pilots, the poor Brits would have lost not only thier Air Wing but likle thier expeditionary fleet to the Mirages and Entendards, the Sea Harriers were no match in trained hands
My condolences to The Captain and his loved ones.
