Last weekend, I was chatting with the back seater of a Tornado and a-pilots came up, so I mentioned this thread.
He said that he and his pilot had recently spent a couple of days with an AWACS crew, to see their side of the picture. They stooged around for many hours, mostly on a-p, and were able to observe all the crew at their posts.
When the time came for placing wheels upon the ground, the bod in the RHS said that he was so tired he was going to use auto-land. Apparently, the Tornado pilot was disgusted and ready to deck him!
(for overseas' readers, it means to punch him so hard that he will fall to the deck)
