Thanks for the memorys Slasher, and thanks for the tears.
Conveniently forgetting of course that some of us (self) had more heart stopping moments like real engine failures in four years of flying big four-engine pistons than 15 years flying jets.. e.g for me over 30 engine failures in Rolls Royce Merlins in four years - versus nil engine failures in jet fighters or airliners over 15 years. Rose coloured lens and all that..
