God there's some brave aviators (or silly) in here, DR
yr my hero
I've been across the straight in a SE a few times but that was when I didn't know better, young & dumb & full of ......
. I would simply not do it anymore. Life is too precious to me nowadays. Flying is meant to be enjoyable, sitting there at whatever height (BLW 10 mostly) isn't my idea of enjoyable with 'H2o' under me. I don't know maybe it's just me but as they say, 'been there done that'!
Even flying out over the Pacific at night in a Lear I still didn't feel that comfy. And at the odd time having no ALT AD available miles from nowhere the thought of an engine/system failure still made me sit on the edge of my seat.
I still like this thread tough it's going down the path of my fav subject, Dr & Jaba will know what I am on about
Ok off to cross some water again, ahhhhh the sound of TWO engines, nothing like it !
p.s..."sms777' yr one lucky boy!
