How many of you steely eyed killers got a May?
Just like Wiggy, I got one off Cyprus while on APC. The difference was, that day we were flying pax various on jollies and I happened to have a UAS cadet in the boot. Despite trying to give him the world's fastest convex on how to work the radar, he never managed to get it into the right mode (probably my duff instructional technique again).
As was often the case round those parts, the viz wasn't great and I did some serious BS-ing to convince the Olympus controller that we had a working radar despite the fact I couldn't see the target at 5NM! When we
did draw alongside, the bugger tried the slow down, descend and turn gently towards trick to try and put us into the oggin.
So all-in-all, a 'somewhat busy trip' and the worst of it all was that after we'd landed, the ungrateful little sod of a UAS cadet made it pretty clear that he was completely underwhelmed by the whole episode!
