Ah yes...and trying to teach the machine was great fun as well....feeding the alligators in the canal next to the picnic table.
What was more fun was keeping up with what modification state the aircraft was in when delivered to the customer.
Nick...did you ever hit the Great Wall at Pahokee in the Sim?
Ever taxi off the one foot drop in the apron at Miami in the Sim? Taxiing into the one foot jump the wrong way was really a thrill.
Those were good days!
Lived next door to Bert Reynolds....I had an acre and a half...he had 250 acres and Lonny Andersen. Tough life for old Bert!
