From Dave Unwin. Just the other day I flew a mate in a T-31, 60 years to the day that he went solo in one. He'd been on a course, gone solo in less than the prescribed number of launches and had used his last launch for two loops with the CFI. As he put it, it had 'lit the blue touch paper', and after tours on the Javelin, Phantom and Tornado, and a career flying A320s, that 'blue touch paper' is still lit. He still flies, glides and tugs, but wasn't current on the T-31, hence my participation.
I don't see a simulator doing that, and I don't think you do either. What a waste![/QUOTE]
I trust they didn't loop a T31!
