It's always a boody long time ago...
....nowadays.
I was the sole pax on an Air Inter DC9 Orly to Nimes-Garons. The FA insisted on doing the pax brief while she sat next to me. She started "Capt Cauvin and his crew....." I said "Ask him if he was born in Madagascar" She looked at me very strangely but did ask, she was even more surprised when he came back saying fetch him up to the flight deck. When I got there it was immediately apparent that he was related to "Cauvin the Pirate" who flew for the local provincial political boss in Madagascar. He was astounded that I had flown with his father a few years before. The clue was in the fact that all the male members of that family were completely bald and had very regularly shaped heads (like Yul Brynner).
The whole family were all air mad and all qualified pilots.
The FO got all the flying on that leg while matey chatted and I was very well fed and watered (wined). It was a great start to a great month with the French Aeronavale.
