Hi folks,
remind me of a similar story while I was a client at bristow academy florida: I went to see to chief pilot and with couples documentations and points about how sweet the cabri must be as a trainer. Just to let them know that a new trainer was on its way ( was times ago like 2007 and no EASA certif yet let alone FAA one) and might be interesting bet for them... which he understand I think since he suggested that Mr Guimbal should come along as a guest on their HAI Stand for 08...
then the chief pilot look at me and says: re you working for them or something?
Jaw dropped, I spontaneously replied: f**k me no way I am not working for them (even thought I wished!) but I just thought that Mr Guimbal deserved a worldwide publicity for its insane work in particular during the 2000 era doing all on its own for certifying such an aircraft within the european aviation regultion...
might have cost me some disgraced among the company potentials employers for saying "f**k me"... but hey, excuse my french but I am french though!
Guilty too then!
