Thanks Biff, yep I agree with you on config of aircraft and experience of pilots, have been on a few exercises over the years (Pitch Black's, etc) ( I'm an engineer on SAR Choppers) and have seen lots of interesting results over the years with different participants, though the thing I find interesting just about all the RAAF F/A-18 A and F/A-18F pilots I know while happy with the Hornet and Rhino would all choose the F-15C/F-15E in the Fighter and Strike role if they had the choice.
Also my mate who did the ETS course (he was Dux of the course by the way) said the Israeli pilot was also technically exceptional as well as having exceptional piloting ability and was one of the only pilots who transitioned to the helo phase as if he had flown helo's all the time , unlike most of the multi engine and fast jet pilots on the course who took a little bit of conversion time.
