Interesting replies, thank you all. I understand and sympathize with what Cornish Jack had to say however I do not agree with him. Perhaps further discussion is needed on this. Please allow me to indulge a little by way of expanding on my original sentiments and follow up by asking you all another question.
I’ve seen a family photograph ( never published ) of a crop duster friend of mine flying an Ag Cat duster ( biplane ) around a bend in a river with both wheels in the water and the plane covered in spray. It’s one of the best examples of flying skill I have yet to see. The man is a superb pilot and I am sure his ability would have been handed on. Now explain this to me ? Both his sons are not crop dusters but successful airline pilots. They did not want to follow in dad’s footsteps. Why? Was it the hazards or was it the softer life style?
