....err yes LM.....!

Frank Frederick Borman, II (born March 14, 1928) is a retired NASA astronaut and engineer, best remembered as the Commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to fly around the Moon, making him, along with fellow crew mates Jim Lovell and Bill Anders, the first of only 24 humans to do so. He was also the chief executive officer of Eastern Air Lines from 1975 to 1986. He is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.

Quote from Borman: A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill.
...OK, that's only Wiki, but there are many separate similar sources on t'internet.

But then (by an amazing coincidence) I have exactly the same number of Jaguar hours as Frank Borman ..... ie None! (but quite a few on other stuff)

Teeters (definitely NOT a bold pilot ......)
