Once flew me a VOR hold, wholly in cloud, on the approach to Stansted, in a 737-200, which had very little automation, so precisely that he came back round 2 minutes later through his own wake. Impressive

His Dad, the Aviogenex Libreville crash skipper that died was one of former Yugoslavia's top eminent pilots, very decorated.
Sadly he was killed in that TU-134.
He was not PIC for the landing - There was a 'heavy' crew for that long flight, so the 2 other Capt's were at the controls.
His son Dragan, was present at the 40th memorial of the Libreville crash and that's where I got a lot of the Info from their pages.
