Thread drift...
Apart from yourselves or oneself, who was the best stick and rudder guy (girl if we are being PC) you ever saw or flew with?
Mine, years ago I had the chance to ride in a Ag aircraft whilst on holiday in of all places New Zealand. Having mentioned my background I was duly treated to such a magnificent and precise display of low level high AOA flying I was left almost speechless. The gentleman's name whom I shall not mention was a former single seater who also held a test pilot certificate in rotary-wing. In terms of being one with his machine it was fascinating to watch and I took a lot away and back to the Squadron from that 30 minute master class. The big thing was for me that military flying and aviators weren't the bee all and end all that Id thought we were.
Just a thought for you lot.
