I thought it was high time Matt was posted to the active squadron and promoted to Pilot Officer.

Congratulations Matt!

Matt, I reckon you only got it, cos it's embarrassing to be shot down by a Student Pilot.

Jolly well done anyway.

I feel that's why Neil has the new F-5E campaign to brush up on those BFM for our next meeting :lol:

It's embarrassing to be shot down by ANY pilot. I was also just embarrassed to think we'd not given Matt the recognition he deserved for his abilities. It was a promotion for his talents, and definitely not my lack of them (though my talents are severely limited).

Well done indeed Matt.

Thank you for your time today Neil, thought It was about bloody time I got the check ride done considering I've been flying with you all for a while now.

Thanks again Neil.
