As a short-arsed, gone bald, hairy ears and nostrilled, beer gut type, I don't attract many compliments. And I can't get no satisfaction out of a coupled ILS and autoland and no kudos from the other pilot, either. But it sure is a nice ending to a day when you do a manually flown sans FD and AT, well executed smoothly flown ILS and landing and the other bloke says "well done, that man".
