Good Airmanship is key.

After I had once again done something in a new and totally incorrect manner.

Exasperated flight Instructor with the “Patience Level Low” caution light blazing brightly.

” Fer Gawd’s Sake Albatross Listen Up ……Airmanship is not the Fxxkxxg boat you arrived on! “

Further helpful advice on the subject of , “Aircraft, proper manipulation of controls of, in order to achieve a set goal in an expeditious and correct manner” was then offered in short, succinct sentences. The friendly tapping of a clipboard on the back my helmet emphasized important points.

During my career I was blessed with an endless succession of excellent instructors. Thankfully they all had a good sense of humour and accepted a challenge.

Fun Daze.

I have always remembered those words.
“Airmanship is not the boat you arrived on.”
Some people never see either the humour or the lesson in those words.
