“In this regard, we really need to pay tribute to France, because in six months they were able to do what we expected the US to do for a year and a half...

The French have done the basics:

– Reduced bureaucracy as much as possible;
- Developed a short and effective programme;
- Immediately enrolled people for training; - did not f*ck with the language (i.e. they did not look for excuses);

There was no language issue at all, everyone who could speak and understand English immediately started training, the pilots were selected with good knowledge, but for some reason the French are the ones who teach people, while some only raise the bar and stall.

We once mentioned what kind of support we can count on, so after the announcement that Mirages will be modified for ground operations, we are definitely ready to say that the French are ours”.
