El, just remember who told you about this ground level manoeuvre in the first place. It was an Aussie and we are known for our straight shooting. Isn't that right septics?

That's right, Eldorado 82, you can always count on an Aussie to tell it like it is

Eldorado I spent 9 months there in 1969, and when I returned to the US, my friends said I had developed a bit of an Aussie accent. You could be right--it might rub off.
So what do you think of the news about you folks buying F-35s and getting to put some of your own stuff on them
I hope you aren't buying the Rhino Beetle version, are you?

Wow, is this thread a mud-slinging match or discussion on the F-35B?

I use the term "Seppo", never Septic Tank. Everyone I know uses "Seppo".

The RAAF is looking at getting F-35A variants, so there's no point sending RAAF pilots to the US to train on STOVL airframes when we're not planning to get any.
