It was one of the few sites I could get on whilst whiling away the hours as DA in RAF Trogir - and isn't it fun trying to put faces to all those noms de plume?

Quite honestly, joined after Sully splashed down in the Hudson, and PPruNe was quoted in a (reputable) newspaper. (he was a gliding instructor when at the USAF academy in Colorado)
Got flamed a few times for being rude. But said very sorry, and they let me stay.
And like other posters here, aviation probably in my genes, as a great uncle flew off the Atlantic City Beach as an honored passenger in a Wright Flyer back in very early days....he was the Mayor at the time and his wife refused to speak to him for a week afterwards....
Its an ongoing conversation with people who share my passion. In a format that works for an Old F..t.
Looking at the sky today, what am I doing here when I could be up there?????????

As for nav training; who'd want to put up with bl00dy arrogant pilots all day?
I don't remember you as good looking on our South Cerney course ( your graduation one! 218 ) - if you were you'd have been selected for nav' training

Just thought I might be missing something. Been in the RAF since 86, saw a mention of PPrune on e-goat so had a look. Not an aviator by trade but still interested in general aviation stuff and any decent gossip!
