Bevo: nice life. :) Why is there a black Discovery with dark windows pulling up outsi........:uhoh: |
They are coming to take you away Beags!!
I think its not the number of types flown that is important but how many have been on operational tours!! A piper or cessna is hardly applicable to a mil forum! I have to agree with LM, quality not quantity is more important and should be reflected in one's profile! Having flown the fastest and the largest I shall leave it at that!:ok::ok::ok::ok: |

My own list as P1 extends to two (Cessna 152/172)
But never a Lightning (boo-hoo). When I was at Nav School one of the staff pilots was reputed to have flown every operational mark of Spitfire. As a stude I never had the nerve to ask an old and hairy staff pilot to see his logbook to check the facts, but I have no reason to doubt it. |
