We always looked longingly across the airfield at WSM at the high performance Ka6, Skylark 4 and the hot glass ships, but at least we were flying, which is more than can be said for this generation of Cadets
When I flew at WSM we had a T21, a Bocian, a Meise, a Delphin and a Ka6, mostly ‘cool’ ships and we did a lot fewer launches than the ATC on the other side.
