Oh, I just don't know where to start......so I won't. My social life is fine, my professional life is a full time B737 Captain in the UK. May not be much, but it's 'ome! What do you do, young man?
You've never experienced African thunderstorms and 600 mile long squall lines then?
You jest? I spent my career thumping across the African/Indian Ocean ITCZ, usually at night, seat belts on, passengers screaming (not as loudly as me). I have done monsoons in India, cyclones in Mauritius and Hong Kong, skirted around that cyclone that took out Darwin, hurricanes in Florida, Cat 3 fogs in the UK, snowstorms in Detroit and Chicago and Alaska, severe squall in Perth. Believe me, African Cbs and 600 mile squall lines- bring 'em on! What's special about them?
