Not strictly true

I flew on a sortie with a Sqn Boss who was an AEO

The P1 captain was about to be ratified after the 3 month probation as non-self authorising

The crew bonged a territorial at low level in poor weather and the Navs scrambled to give the flight deck turn away instructions.

The Boss came on intercom and simply said " P1, I'm changing your authorisation - you are to return immediately to ISK"

Stunned silence or what? - I'd never experienced this before

However, this boy obviously knew the rules, it happened, was talked about a lot - never questioned by the Staish or Gp - and then just faded away.

Loved many, Trusted a few, Told my Navs to stay out the pooh!
