Personally I loved flying the Dom.
Yes one could get a wee bit chilly on the high level night astros but you wore a sweater and extra socks; The high speed descents (Pole Hill Recovery) made up for any discomfort.
Low level was just about as much fun as I ever had with my clothes on - far more fun than low level in Albert.
As for all the European trips and airshows....
Those whingeing were probably the knackered old farts who should have been cleared out decades before.
