As someone who went through OASC 5 times on GD/P applications from '85 - 92, and failed every time as I possessed good pilot aptitude but lacked Commissioning qualities, I am both in awe, and green with envy at the experiences some of you guys had during your time on this awesome machine. This thread has been a truly magnificent read.
I will forever be sad at not having had such experiences, but I'm now in the left seat of a commercial airliner so I suppose it all worked out in the end.
Anyway, respect to you all, keep it coming.
