The Good and the Bad
My pal, Harry Cowdrey, at 3 BFTS had a good instructor named Ted Yachachak, a Miami Indian. One day Harry asked his instructor what yachachak meant. He replied "Big Indian chief who fly in sky". My instructor was a right S oh D.
One day I was landing an AT6. Things were going all wrong, all I could do was fly with rudder full left and control column hard right to maintain a straight course. My instructor yelled out "Davis you are flying this ******* aircraft cross controlled. I ignored him and landed successfuly. On the ground we noticed that the right flap was up but the left flap down. I waited for congratulations on making a good landing with one flap up, the other down, but not a word!
