I regularly flew as SLF on Garuda F28s in the 1980s and all their aircrew appeared to be about 15. Baseball caps, string-back racing gloves and reflective sunglasses. Curling, Spitfire-type approaches to 6000' runways but only using the first 1000'. For an aircraft without reverse thrust it could stop on a sixpence but if you didn't have your seatbelt on you'd end up in the cockpit. Oh, and navigating by joining up the red dots on the wx radar. Laugh? I thought I'd never start.
