Who am I to question a test pilot's contribution to my meagre skills. I was nonetheless grateful for the opportunity to explore the envelope. You will be pleased to know that even at that time (7 years ago) I was well past that stage in my life when I would want to thrash anything around at VNe let alone wazzzzz it to the control limits. The frequency with which those that indulge in such antics end up in a wooden overcoat has convinced me not to bother. Working with an EMS outfit similarly cures you of ever wanting to go motor bike cruising. There's nothing quite like picking up bits of people to make you think hard about the wisdom of trying to revisit your youth on today's unforgiving roads with todays unsympathetic "Chelsea Tractor" drivers.
