For US officers, this article is somewhat confusing, because the OF scale is different from the O scale used in all branches of the US military. I don't know what OF means, but clearly OF-9 is equivalent to O-10 (US), and so on down the line, all being off by one. Sivamo 08:24, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Correct. Both ranks of lieutenant are OF-1 on the NATO scale. OF stands for 'officer'. Using the NATO scale prevents US-centrism. -- Necrothesp 11:29, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Surely you are correct about avoiding US-centrism. But, for the poor ignorant US-ians, of whom there may be a number, could we have some sort of clarifying comment to explain what the "OF" scale is -- maybe a nice wikilink to a page explaining it would be apropos :) Sivamo 03:47, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Someone needs to make a list of countries that follow the British model due to its unique and scarce nature. So far, I've confirmed Australia, New Zealand, and India, any more?
- Royal Australian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, Nigerian Air Force, Indian Air Force, Pakistan Air Force, Bangladesh Air Force and Sri Lanka Air Force for definite. The Ghana Air Force and Air Force of Zimbabwe (previously Royal Rhodesian Air Force) also use the same basic system, but replace Pilot Officer and Flying Officer with Air Sub Lieutenant and Air Lieutenant. The Royal Canadian Air Force and Royal Malaysian Air Force used to use the system, but have since switched to army ranks. I suspect the system is or was also used elsewhere in Africa. -- Necrothesp 11:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Arthurus
Arthurus seems to be a new sockpuppet of Roitr. He recreates article Chief Marshal of the Air Force of the Russia in spite this rank does not exist.--Nixer 17:52, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
