Not entirely. It would appear that some have flown the type, albeit a long time ago and have made some useful comment, usually with the caveat of failing memory.
I recollect flying a Bucker Jungmann about once a month and thinking 'This ain't really enough.' Now, say, an Avions Robin, not a problem.
We don't have very current Hunter people any more. (Been told I could be wrong there)
It's over ten years since I've touched the controls and I'd be very reluctant to pass serious comment (Not to be confused with pub talk in which I'm 200% better than I ever really was
)
