Well, I thought it was bad enough where I was sitting but #2 was having spatial awareness problems himself and didn't have a clue what was going on and only believed we weren't going to crash because he managed to grab a quick squint at the head-down AI and realise we weren't practicing IMC aeros. Where am I going with this story......ummm......errrrr......piss off Crabs, Fly Navy etc.
I think I'm getting old because I'm telling WIWO stories.....ahhhhhhh.
