I cannot reverse a car for toffee but flew military fast jets and airliners for a living.

Reversing a 747 is easy as long as you remember to adjust the wing mirrors first. And never never put the engines into reverse without bringing them to a complete stop, otherwise you get bits of turbine blade coming in the windows. Airbuses are different because the French drive on the opposite side of the road. They have a toggle switch on top of the stick that swops the left and right hand seats around.
