Hope that helps.
Aye, loud mouthed Yanks:
Quite a few of those around.
I saw the movie Grease when I first came to the USA in 1978 and in flight school. Enjoyed it, good vibes, romance, High School magic and culture.
John Travolta was the perfect lead actor for the part.
Olivia Newton-John was even better.
Sweet old days with Grease and Saturday Night Fever.
Yup, Nicole Kidman, another export item you blokes can be proud of.
As for wannabe Quantas Captains with fake uniforms, not my cup of tea, and all hell broke loose when I said fake.
Go get your ATR with a proper Type Rating dear John, and I will take my Captain's hat off to you.
