Yes it
is interesting although I'm not quite sure how it works but .. as it is a military aircraft I assume that there may be provision for some degree of 'popetic' licence!
Having the Pontiff in the left hand seat is as close as it gets to having God as your copilot.
Indeed. I do wonder however if his virtue of Papal Infallibility is 'transferable' to non-ecclesial duties. If so one would imagine that this would make him an exceptional [sky] pilot.
I must be careful in what I say!
