I just went through recurrent with a former USAF -135 pilot, airline 727 guy and has most recently been flying large cabin corporate type aircraft worldwide. There was still some stuff that he could do better in a King Air. It has nothing to do with how good of a pilot he is overall.
Thank goodness he got me through that firehose PL21 avionics stuff though!

Haven't seen a Reserve C-5 crew, I guess. I had several Wing Cmdrs with 10,000 hour patches; my last OG/CC wore a 10,000 hour patch and the SQ/DO before me had 5,000 in the C-5 after gaining a 7,500 hour patch in the Herk. A number of my enlisted crew had 7,500 and 10,000 hour patches.
