I taught AT and another just-left-NI pilot on the same Chinook course and they couldn't have been more different. AT always fully-prep'd, on time and ready to go; flew beautifully, worked with the crew to get the best out of the aircraft - exemplary. Not surprised he went far, fast.
I think we must have overlapped at 240, I taught him when he later came back to the Puma for a short while and it was obvious then that he was well aware of his destiny.
