for what is worth, rajamuda, the greener pastures do not seem to be very kind to your kind old instructor. met him at food alley akl somer time ago, was shocked to see almost a total silver head of hair. we had quite a long talk and i think fez int'l is right he wasn't that pissed off at the bypass thingy ( he kind of expected those fellas to do it, so he said ). he was more concerned about the future of bolehland and me thinks he's right even though i do not agree with his pessimism. i too benefitted a lot from his advice and guidance and he was mighty glad that i did well. when i told him of what i am doing , he was extremely glad. he thanked me for doing him proud. he had once told me " my aim is to make you a better pilot than me; if you turn out just like me I must have failed as there is no progress. if you become better than me, i must have done something right! " a down to earth cinapek with no airs about him. a rarety in essence.
