Favourite: First time I was cleared to fly a 50' Low Level Navex with just a crewman to keep me in line. Got out drenched in sweat and had to get someone to kick me between the legs to get rid of the smile.......

Biggest relief: Breaking cloud on absolute minimums with very little fuel and no diversions available. 10 SAS monsters in the back had just survived a firefight and I nearly killed them

Scariest: Looking at a CWP full of red lights through the smoke in the cockpit as we hit the ground (or landed as we like to call it) in a jungle clearing in Belize.

But most of all...... Going to work every day knowing I am being paid for this
