haha, don't get me wrong guys. I was not offended by the post at all. Yes, it is funny (although copy-pasted from somewhere else
). It's just that it made me remember my grandfather talking about how things where better as they used to be before. The old blah blah blah, I'm sure his grandfather used to say the same
I do have the utmost respect for pilots of that bygone era. But not for their "macho, mustached, king and owner of the airline world" attitude, but for their truly great flying skills and airmanship compared to maybe 90% of the pilots nowadays, most probably me included. The thing is that... it's not like the old days anymore.. so cut the crap already, it is boring! And if anyone really gets excited hearing that speech... well, good for you OLD chap, go and watch "the Aviator" for 100th time!
