Ah yes Centaurus, "The Warbird/Walter Mitty Bunch", If only we had known how difficult it is to fly these things we all would have joined the Army! Its really just an extension of my rant, folks babling on about sweet FA and thinking they are making flying more safe, in fact the reverse is the case, we had a clasic example of one of these types that I had to restrict from flying my vintage stuff, this after he just about melted the mags with his endless ground idle whilst he babled on giving endless briefings to his students, but in spite of this he managed to total one of our Oldies, started with full throttle and no brakes, better write a longer checklist to include "check for stupidity".
