What Flingingwings said.
Even if he did enjoy partaking in a wee drop on a 'regular' basis.
A great character nevertheless. How the hell he saw an IR 'pass' possible in me, i'll never know. He saw something in me that others (including myself) didn't, and pushed me to continue with the IR when I would have given up. I'm only where I am now because of him. Thanks Jonesy.
Just editing to add a reminded quote of his!
Always in your ear in the sim??? "Fly accurately" !!!
