I was part of a pilot training program for the Saudis. They were idiots. Royalty was passed no matter how bad they were.

Yeah, I heard the same thing about the Iranians. However, the training guys said the Israelis were scary good.

In 1975, when I was at Lackland AFB in Basic Training I sat in bleachers at an afternoon baseball game with a large group of Iranian students.   I was amazed to hear that almost everyone of them were relatives of the Shah of Iran.   They even seemed to have their own impromptu social hierarchy from the closest relative on down.   They seemed like a great group of guys though, male and female.
