AAR

Forgot about the joys of AAR. Only went behind VC10 and Victor. Wash behind the Victor could lead to you overcompensating with roll. As mentioned use of small rudder inputs was easier to correct. If you just relaxed on all the controls the wash would anchor you nicely in position.
AARI from RHS was an interesting exercise. Getting in then leaning far forward in the seat, hunched over the controls, head bent up, staring at the basket while talking through the exercise when almost all you could see was the basket.
Three long haul AARs. Day AAR in Mediterranean from UK then on to Oman, night AAR from UK south of Azores then on to Guyana, day AAR from UK, south of Nova Scotia then on to boat drop off South Carolina. Last one should have been a landing in Nassau but ended up diverting into Charleston.
