Totally agree Mike. I've been lucky enough to fly a few different types, and have also had a drink with some truly great aviators (Winkle Brown, Patty Wagstaff, Bill Dana, Bob Hoover etc etc) Possibly the best advice I ever recieved was from Bill, who said "fly the aircraft you're flying, on the day you're flying it." Sounds simple, but IMHO its quite profound, and is something more pilots would do well to learn.
