If you would love to know what its like to be a fighter pilot flying F-18's in RAAF, then this book will give you a humorous look in to one mans experiences. Easy to read, addictive, its hard to put down and will have you in stitches.
My only complaint was I sometimes got confused as far as the timeline of events, but this does not detract from the overall reading pleasure of this book.
If you dreamed to be a fighter pilot as a kid and want a good laugh then read it, you wont be disappointed.

Sometimes sad but mostly I just could not stop laughing, the description of various fighting styles when confronting pack of "gorillas" will always crack me up :-) If you are looking for a very funny easy to read book (which is surpsingly well written in my opinion) that is slightly more about fighter pilot shenanigans than the actual flying, you can´t go wrong
This book was so good, I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in two days.
"Serge" was a fighter pilot in the RAAF in the 90s and he gives an insight into operational life, and the shit they managed to get away with being the "best of the best". It also touches on the inter-service challenges with the culture of the three defence services.
Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in aviation and military aviation;
