Luxury! When I was a lad...
...we used to fly 212's with no tail boom at all, (this is all in John Cleeses' accent by the way) our copilot, if we had one had to run along holding the skid straight until we had enough airspeed to keep straight then jump in before he was left behind
. After a 40kt run on landing to the rig we would fly home, get beaten with razor wire
, forced to dring avtur and made to leave on the next sortie 1 hour before we got back and made to sleep in a wet paper bag in middle of the road
