Ok..enough is enough............
Amoungst the youngsters perhaps I'm a dinosaur..............but.
With guys and gals being shot down in combat being screened nightly on TV.......the normal every day demanding foul weather of the North Sea with Gals and Guys doing Rig Radar Approaches in the crappiest of weather and back via an ILS......the gals and gals in the GOM doing day and night flights also in crappy weather, not to mention folk downunder in Oz and NZ doing EMS all over the country. And our friends in the old USSR doing it hard with old iron workhorses.
But never a self indulgent moment being spoken, no not a one.
There are milestones in each aviators career, the QFI, is just the beginning.........most are done with grit, study and determination.....and most done in silence.
Be that good or bad...who knows?
I hope that this thread follows the norm......which I feel it must.
