Not that unusual actually. I was a staff pilot on Doms 87-92 and quite a few of the LLTS Nav Instructors were quite useful pilots.
Yeah,
but unfortunately Fergie is an Eng, and the closest I ever saw him manage by way of fine control of an aerial chariot was to hit the throttle quadrant with a spanner. (Fair enough, I think he was aiming at the Co-pilot at the time, but missed).
