That MOST talented spray pilot --would it be Pete Crouch , ex-Kenya , Zim for the last 30 years ? I could spend hours watching him 'do' his stuff , last count nearly 20k hours , all spraying apart from a bit of Seneca flying out of Malindi in the 70s . He continued spraying throughout the Rhodesian bush war and had some VERY hairy moments !
Airline pilots ? Some of the best memories of the 'crossover' were while doing a couple of VC10 pilots conversion to the Navajo at Wilson after EAA went bust ! The flare heights were truly hilarious , but they soon got the hang of it and indeed brought some well needed discipline to the Bush regime.
Happy days
