I have never said that you know it. However you seem to be proud of the fact that you flew that jet in circumstances where any further malfunction would have put you in a very ugly situation. Personally I think you were foolish.
Having the ability to control the airplane at the limits means you are a good airplane driver, having the judgement to manage a situation so that you never have to use those skills means you are a good pilot.....
