Flight sergeant
Senior non-commissioned rank in the Royal Air Force / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flight sergeant (commonly abbreviated to Flt Sgt, F/Sgt, FSGT or, currently correctly in the RAF, FS[1]) is a senior non-commissioned rank in the Royal Air Force[2] and several other air forces which have adopted all or part of the RAF rank structure. It is equivalent to a staff sergeant or colour sergeant in the British Army, a colour sergeant in the Royal Marines, and a chief petty officer in the Royal Navy, and has a NATO rank code of OR-7.[3] In the RAF, flight sergeant ranks above chief technician and below warrant officer.
