RAAF 1999- Present
Still loving it and will probably be around for a while yet. Although nothing like 4 years at DGTA to suck the life out of you. Will see how that goes.
Hey, we can only talk in acronyms!Great stuff here but for all us Civvies can be have alittle more detial on what DGTA and I assume a fighter controller is a pilot?
Wash your mouth out, LynnH! My sister is an ATC, and I assure you, ATCs and fighter controllers have always been, and remain, intrinsically hostile to each other. They kind of have enough in common to have people (such as yourself) think they're alike, yet in fact have such diametrically opposed goals that they have difficulty relating to each other...A fighter controller is an Air Traffic Controller in charge of fighter aircraft.
Depends - were you close enough to get a "flesh wound"? Have you seen "Top Gun"?I went to the Edinburgh RAAF Air Show last year and saw Hornets doing a bombing run. Does that count?

Closer analogy would be Property Developer vs Demolition agent....It would be kind of like saying that a property developer is similar to a real estate agent.

The only thing in common is the tools - radar and voice radio. But the objectives are completely different. It would be kind of like saying that a property developer is similar to a real estate agent.
Glad you liked my warrie - I've got some more, but I'm waiting to give others a go...
Must have something to do with the eras. I was just a Radio Tech on Neptunes, finally.instrument Fitter / Avionics Technician.
