TowerDog ( and others )
I commend your loyalty however there are others who are not of your persuasion (me) who can’t understand why your leaders hand out commendations so freely. Every civilian and military pilot of large aeroplanes is capable of recovery from an unusual attitude. The same pilot is also capable of landing at any suitable airfield that happens to be nearby. Not all would opt to nurse a damaged command 600nm across open water to get back home. The man who would certainly deserves the highest commendation. If you care to think about this then I’m sure you will understand why I refer to “ home consumption”.
