Jack, you didn't do too badly for a bloke who said he was retiring within 12 months when you did my GFPT in December of '93!
All Jacks's students will remember "The Bible", his compilation of checklists and notes. I took it out of the bookcase tonight and had a flick through.
EMERGENCY OR FORCED LANDING CHECKS CON'T
4. IMPACT POSITION
1. Loosen neckwear, remove glasses, dentures, high heel shoes, bras and scanties.
I never did ask about the last couple there. I guess if you've got to go out, you may as well enjoy yourself; I'm pretty sure that's what you'd be doing right now.
Young Jack took his doctor’s advice and headed for the dryer and warmer climate of Mildura and got a job for 12 months at South Merbein with Jack Hunt clearing land with an old bulldozer and a couple of tractors.
I remember Jack pointing out that dozer out in the Mildura training area as we did PFLs and precautionary searches, still sitting where it broke down many years earlier.
Thanks for giving me the honour of being the last multi endorsement in your logbook.
Blue skies, always.
