Danny,
Respect to your methods, but "mirror with phone number and lipstick", goodness did such things happen ? I spent a few years hanging out of the back of an aircraft, being the pilots mirror. Not sure how useful I was as they never told me, I usually got told not to extend the straps during the after flight servicing. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to your "contact" with the ATS, if there was any, and your impressions, from the timeframe, rather than the perhaps "politically correct" modern take.
