Let's not start knocking planks plse!!
D/W to R
I was a Contract Airline Captain and its great travelling in comfort and be so well looked after.
I always felt I 'operated' a plank whilst I 'Flew' a helicopter.
Money was good too but Sep !! ended that for alot of us!!
I never gave up helicopter flying whilst flying planks. I just couldn't. I always kept a foot in each camp and wish I could still do both but I'd rather have lost the planks than loose flying Helicopters. I'm very lucky to be helicopter instructor too so I'm still flying now.
