Thanks Richard:
There are two people whom I look on as my bench marks in aviation.
Earnest Gann as an author and Bob Hoover as the ultimate smooth gifted pilot.
I would also like to make one more comment on the wannabe thread.
If we strive to support each other rather than denegrade each other aviation will be a better industry.
It is so easy to make judgements based on a little knowledge of those whom we are commenting on.
It requires class and character to say nothing or at least be careful when commenting. God knows I have made a complete ass##le of myself many times by giving my opinion without knowing the person whom I was denegrading, so I try to get to know them now. Then if I find out the person is truly a dork it ain't so bad commenting.
