I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The same bloke said that senior instructors used to insist that a trainee should maintain strict 'straight and level' for 30 seconds after every aerobatic manoeuvre. A succession of junior instructors would ask "why not teach them a sequence like we all learned on pilot's course, where they transition smoothly from one manoeuver to the next?" to be told "No way; we'll be fighting these bastards in the not too distant future. Insist on 30 seconds straight and level after every manoeuvre."
Indeed we were told this during training too.

S-D, trust me, I am not shooting lines, I have a very good memory (for the moment though I do tend to forget why I went upstairs). Thank you too WrathM.
