Wow…I am going to duck out of this for a while. Too many undeserved compliments, and besides I need to keep a few stories to pay for my beer!
This thread started with my query on when is the right time to quit aviation, and I guess many of us never do. Even if you dine out on “old aviators war stories” it’s still keeping in touch.
In the 747 Incident my company was generous to me, but the outcome could have been much worse for a lot of innocent people.
That is the lesson for me if I keep on flying aeroplanes for fun, the people flying with me are precious, are innocent, have priority for their safety over all other things.
A friend phoned me today asking for a trip around the Welsh mountains, and we will do it, but not before an instructor has checked me out and I have made up for last years crap summer and lack of flying.
