Salute!
c'mon Bubbers.....
Airmanship!
Flew one jet with no second seat, so we flew "chase" and could only see/feel what the nugget was doing. No big deal, as just ask if he was putting in "x" stick.
In the Viper we flew chase for the guy's "solo" mission just to keep USAF happy. We had already flown a few hours in the family model. And like the 'bus, no visual or feeling what the nugget was doing with his sidestick.
I like the tacit feel and look of the yoke for a "crew" plane. but in this case the clue is to look at what the indicators were showing. 'course, seems the indicators were FUBAR and the crew had to deal with all the nuances of the reversion modes and.......
Gonna be a landmark finding report, as others have suggested.
