Well, as RarelyAtHome said, I also have survived for 45 years and 15,000 hrs, mostly in hand-flown unstable aircraft (helicopters) and some military jets, using the knowledge passed on to me by the heretics who came before. I have also successfully passed on this same knowledge to a large number of (now retired) airline captains, none of whom have fallen from the sky in an effort to prove Manwell correct.
Come on, no more Secret Squirrel stuff and Masonic Handshakes, let us have a peek at YOUR thought processes on our hugely defective way of flying.
