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.

The Argentine pilots are very skilled.Every time they would take off from air fields in Argentina the traitor Chileans would report it to the British.The Sea harriers would take off and guide in the missiles against the Argentine pilots.
They were very brave.Hitting 75% of British shipping.But some of the bombs did not detonate.We will never forgive what the Chileans did to the Argentine's.Fellow Latin's should not be traitors.
