What this fighter jet replacement has cost us will take decades to rectify, if we ever do. F'n politicians should all be held to account but they will buy something just in time to declare themselves heroes.
We have bled off so much experience in the fighter community that by the time we get new jets it will be very hard to staff the Sqn's. We are losing our Fighter lead in training capability. We can barely keep instructors qualified and have a back log getting students on sqn. We are getting to the point where our front line pilots are all green and that's when accidents happen.
It's a sad state of affairs.
