Mahe Visit
AA62
Ref your Post No 199
I was with you on the Mahe visit and the subsequent flypast. A bit daring to bank at 90deg about 100ft above the sea with 60ft of wing just above the waves. He was the Wing pilot and would know it was reckless, irresponsible and illegal. There have been so many crashes with this type of scenario, remote location and no chance of being reported.
The flight back to Gan was in beautiful weather conditions and very smooth air. Upon landing the flight engineer asked how he should explain the very high fatigue meter readings to which the Wing pilot said 'put it down to severe turbulence en route'.
I believe his flying expertise caught up with him at St Athan in 1993!
At the time it seemed to be good fun but it could have been quite different.
