AJ, after a run-in with the engineers, venting off in the crewroom to all, (who had to listen if they wanted to or not!) describing his displeasure after a similar 'engineering' confrontation in Germany some years earlier....
"So I said to this engineer, 'I could walk out to the runway, drop my flying suit, do a **** on the centreline, and IT would have more sense than you!' ...******n' engineers, I **** on 'em!"
We knew it was (mostly) tongue-in-cheek, but no one could make a point like 'Ehh-Jehh'.
Demonstrating a zero speed auto in a Puma...
"Loook, she's perfectly happy, perfectly controllable, yoo can poot 'er where yoo want 'er...this '70 knot' business... what a load of b*******s!"
...and demonstrating Puma stability during NVG sloping ground...
"Just stay light on the controls, it'll fly itself, STOP FIGHTIN' IT!...loook, see?....just touch the cyclic, that's all..."
Whatever his style of delivery, I think most pilots will always remember AJ's flying skills. Few could fly the Puma as he did.
