Do sharpen up and RTFM, Courtney old bean

As I wrote, 'twas my brutally honest Air Eng who came out with the comment, not me. True though it was!

I didn't need to debrief anything at the time, as the Air Engineer said it all for me.....
"You daft c**t, what the f**k were you playing at?"

Art Field - your story sounds very similar to mine, with the exception that in our case it was the loose objects in the a/c which ended up on the roof - not us!
In our case our u/t man in the LHS ended his career with rings (thick and thin) all the way up his sleeve, so it certainly didnt do his career any harm.
Twas ever thus.

Fair to middling thanks Beags. Yes the other pilot (me) was a graduate of the Little Rissie school of aviation instruction and provided the push to clear the tanker. The instructor riding controls technique has to be used with caution, I remember one pilot thought his tnstructer was helping a bit too much so he only pretended to input the controls and watched a perfect approach and contact and was praised for it. The instructor must not show lack of confidence though I admit I had my worst instructional moments when instructing receiving. Managed over 1100 personal contacts in my time.

AAR is always going to be a twitchy bum business. I hear that the chaps down in Spain are still having boom problems on their Tanker?
Beagle - I noticed the A310 MRTT down in Getafe earlier in the week, mod and upgrade??
