Sorry for going off topic here but i cant help myself but ask: Can you still walk upright or are you all crooked? Serious back issues?
Flying all day in this kind of position must be quite agonising after a while? (Maybe aside from the A-Star with the mod with the window in the floor...)

Ovrr the years, I worked hard at keeping physically fit. Even pushing 60, I have no back problems at all. The biggest problem I encountered over the years was an extruded disc in my neck, that once I took a break healed up quite well with only a bit of nerve damage.
I'm on an easier gig these days....working on a fire contract in Istanbul for Erickson. My full time logging days are behind me.....
