Karl Schultz sent me solo and now, over 33 years later I'm returning the favour to the next generation.
Never forget it, feels like it was yesterday. Thought I was going to die as I waited for him to strap up the ejection seat and I restarted the engine. Had a choice...climb out and forget flying as a career or go and kill myself and when I overshot the first attempt I saw my prophecy coming true. Luckily for me, the second finals wasn't so bad.
