'JR' I often wonder what it's like to drive for Gam's these days. I know they pumped out a lot of good all round drivers years ago who could think on their own two feet something that Airlines don't want as they just want 'puppets'.
I also recall at times the AC's launching out of EN on a less than ideal morning for the usual gaggle of bank runs into the soup whilst we couldn't turn a wheel (B200's) due poor viz, these guys must have had special dispo's for zero viz Ops
Not what ya know but who ya know I guess:-)
Many years ago when 'Notty' was a young scrawny apprentice I/we could see he was going to be an authority on AC's & became so but he never had an interest in flying himself funnily enuf, well as far as I can recall.
Those screaming AC's unique sound especially the Grand's will stay in my head long after I hang up my flying goggles
