Adding to the requirement 'wish list'....since there may be the potential for ego issues with pilots, that this be tempered with some basic knowledge and common sense.
Example:
I was at CFC Toronto, sitting beside a LCol pilot, who was seriously baffled by the dolphins of a Cdr submariner...
Pilot: "I guess you fly navy aircraft, since ONLY pilots have the maple leaf on their wings."
- embarrassed silence everywhere -
Me: "Uh...Submariner, Clearance Diver, SAR Tech, Flight Steward, Parachutist?"
Pilot: "Really? No....... Really!?" :-\
JM, tel me that wasn't a Tactical Aviator that said that! I can't imagine a TH LCol so out of it that they wouldn't know a submariner's insignia...
Must go now to check my investments to make sure I have enough spare coin to pay for some drinks for SKT next time we hook up...it's like "hush money" to keep the Nav-free status quo in Tac Hel alive and well! ;D "Hey, SKT...stay away from my aircraft...I bought you a drink last year, remember?"
Cheers,
