Hi Cubflyer
Your comments about the Golf India Tango's RT are spot on. When he's on the Air/Ground he causes mayhem as well. He also is not averse to critiquing landings made by everyone. He is referred to as 'TFC' by the instructors (an abbreviation of the name of the controller from the Thomas Tank Engine books). Would you believe he’s also an RT License examiner too!
He has some sort of thing about his preferred style of T/O & Landings to be made with a high nose attitude (I believe he had a tail-strike on someone's brand new Cirrus a couple of weeks ago, now it's had to go in for some not insignificant repairs due to this kind of exaggerated technique).
As to his attitude: ‘I’ll never need your help’, just sums him up he has an ego larger than Jupiter (the planet is of course a gas giant).
