It was a great privilege to fly alongside Dennis in what also turned out to be my last big movie; Black Hawk Down. He's one of the most self-effacing aviators I know, but the best fun was hanging out with him in the background as he commented on the antics of others. "Laconic" doesn't even cover it. We giggled like kids for days and I still have tears of mirth at his one-liners.
Den, it is an inspiration to us all that you've discarded the concept of age.
