Dear ExSp33db1rd - you've brought back some great memories ..... things I had completely forgotten about yet so wonderful to remember !!
..... pushing forward in the flare ....... many of the guys just wouldn't believe it worked
..... just realised, "I never dropped a mask" either ..... what a great claim to fame
and what a good name for a book !
Best moment on 747 - my Mum and Dad were travelling home after visiting us and through sheer coincidence I was doing that flight .... got them into the cockpit for a night landing and through sheer luck I got one of those landings where the speed brake lever slides back and there's no feeling of touchdown ..... as Mum and Dad went through customs they heard a group from the flight talking about the best landing they had ever had ..... Mum and Dad were the proudest parents in the world and never forgot the moment !!
Aye them were days !!
