SAAF hit by 'racial transfer' row
This is the best bullshit I've came across since Alert 5 was started 2 years ago. Three South African white fighter pilot trainees who were the top of their Hawk class were told to become helicopter or transport pilots because its the SAAF's policy not to send only the best pilots to fly fighters.

South African Air Force Chief Lieutenant-General Carlo Gagiano said, 'We send good pilots along with average pilots to our helicopter, transport and fighter lines so that we can have a good mix throughout the service. We do this because if we only sent good pilots to fly fighters our other flying lines would suffer.'
