One of my Basic Instructors on the "Hiller Killer Oil Spiller".

On our last day on Hillers, he flew with me in the morning then jumped in a Cessna 172, flew to Germany to eventually be towed back from Germany in a glider which was a PAIR being towed by the Cessna !!

I wish him a speedy recovery - the guy's a bit of a legend and the most patient instructor you will find. I threw him at the ground in an engine off landing and his headset fell off and left him strangled by his throat mike.

He said "don't worry, but I'll just pop out and check the tail boom - you have control!"
