Hes an IT specialist in Perth, Australia, that used to fly Harriers, Phantoms and Mirages.
Has some interesting stories, for instance:
Mercenary flying for Israel (http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=1&c=1&t=15842)

"Before I can lay it on him he flips up on his right wing, an outside roll that yanks him out of the kill zone. I ease off on the stick, hold 100% power and pursue as he pulls into a yo-yo. In any other aircraft I'd be overshooting, or forced to break away, but not in a Harrier. I pull into a tight rolling turn, VIFF again, and with my energy mostly intact stay behind him. For him that was a mistake, and one I'm about to take maximum advantage of. He's bled energy right through those two closely coupled manouveres, I haven't. Now I VIFF again, keeping abeam and pull across the flight axis. He counters with another wingover that I mirror and we are immediately in a rolling scissors, going downhill in a game of chicken that neither of us care to take too far.
We don't have to, this is where I want him."

Makes Mr Blacks sniper stories down in South America seem pretty tame by comparison....
