Virgil Russel
I'm the best pilot, definitely. I'm an excellent driver, er- pilot.
Actual, serious opinion and recommendation- Virgil Russell.
I flew with Virg when he was in the training department at PHI. Absolute master of the aircraft, consumate professional aviator and instructor pilot. No matter what shape I showed up in to fly that day- check ride nerves, whatever- he'd get the best out of me, teach me something new, and during the process I'd always forget I was being evaluated and taught.
