I like the way these people say ''Trained as an Air Traffic Controller''.
I think the word she's looking for might be ''Failed''.
Not PC but I don't care.

Bound to win, I say. Arrogant, self-opinionated, able to change mind with the wind, selfish, devious, etc etc.

I flew over to Le Touquet last year as part of a flying club excursion.. and Mr Sugar was there too. He actually landed right before us, and in the end took off hours later, just after us in his lovely little Cirrus - guess he has a PPL or better. He was on frequency with me for probably 20 minutes in total.

There was a burning sensation to say something like 'you're fired' - and if the word 'fire' wasn't in there I might have.. but I figured the French controllers might have had a bit of a mare if they'd heard that :P

He collected some rubbish bikes from the airport and paid his landing fee on credit card - wonder what his limit was

Let's try and keep this focused on the subject instead of getting personal about peoples looks.

The relevant posts have been deleted.

Everyone posting such comments is an Adonis lookalike I take it ?? In which case, get your photo up on the JetBlast photo thread so the ladies on the site can judge
