Lemmy Tanner

Like UG, and many others, I owe much to Lemmy for my career in flying. Lemmy guided me through a sticky patch in my early flying training on the Hiller (killer oil spiller) and I am eternally thankful for that.
His gliding knowledge used to impinge on helicopter training from time to time. During my CPL/H training on an instrument appreciation training flight in a Bell 47G2, (whited-out lower half of the bubble together with the visor (hood) ) he directed me into the upcurrent caused by stubble being burnt off a couple of thousand feet below us. Even with the lever almost fully lowered I could not prevent the machine from climbing, much to his amusement.....

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery Lemmy!
