Gee Dick,....
"Flightwatch, Flight Service, or whatever you call it is a
user friendly information service that is normally provided on request
so that the pilot can make a better SAFETY DECISION".........
Now THAT
IS UNFAIR!!!
THAT really did bring a tear to this 'old eye'........
I can only substitute the word '
WAS'.............BTN 'that' & 'normally'...
Additional to those small instances of which I wrote earlier, I can only add that, in the 'Premier Years' when we (ME and several others) were in the 'Manager's Seat', we
did sometimes extend the Service to 'As Required' to cover some REAL emergency situation which required IMMEDIATE assistance...and then had to 'clear it' with the SAR office of the times....LIVE, as it was happening!
Yep! THOSE were the days we felt we had earned our 'bread'.
But, not to worry.......
