It is so very nice to see a positive reaction like that.
I often fly at night;we think that we probably peeve most people off, but, having done it recently in theatre I know that the training is worthwhile.
Thanks for posting your kind thoughts.

took a flying complaint from a guy once after a C-130 had been in LFA 3, and the guy said "I was glad my son wasn't flying a kite in the garden or he'd have been swept away with the Herc" :O

Oh dear ...
... saw the thread title and immediately thought "that grid's in LFA 9, somewhere west of Shrewsbury"...
...how sad is that - and I'm NOT a navigator ...
...must get out more :(
