Mine is another lady, of course, but has never been described as either docile or forgiving.
A lady should never be taken for granted, neither should she be underestimated, but treat her like one and she will respond accordingly.
Tasmania and WA are the only places she hasn't taken me to thus far and they are on my bucket list to do before it's too late...we were both built in 1944 and I expect she will still be flying after I've hung up my headset.
Good on Max for all his achievements and thanks Dick for letting us know.
