I went into chat last night - first time all week, as I've had this horrible cold, probably caused by too much flying.
Anyway, people kept asking me if I was going to post about Russia.
I guess I forgot that not everyone spends most of their life on PPRuNe as I do. So I thought I'd better bring this back to the top again. Thanks to BRL, you have a link to the fully, nearly unexpurgated version on Rotorheads. If you really want the full story, ask me at Sywell, the Covbash, or the Gatbash. And feel free to post comments to keep the other thread near the top. You're allowed to post on Rotorheads; they won't eat you, honest! Though I guess if you want to ask about the f/w flying it might be more tactful to post it here. Makes no odds to me; I read both forums far too frequently.
