When I call eyes out the window you really see this play out. They cannot land the thing. It’s quite sad.
An eye opener when the next day I get the next young lad ex bush/prop/png guy who can’t get his eyes from out the window! Don’t forget to check your instruments matey!
One landed superb the other couldn’t even get centreline.
