Its agreed then.
"Its tough at the top, and rough at the bottom"
and
"Send a boy to do a mans job and someone will steal his bicycle"
(regardless of the colour of his overalls or bicycle)
and
I forget....
Top thread. Sure many have gained by looking at both sides of this debate.

I don't think this is a fast airplane issue. This is more like current in type. I remember back in my instructing days we had a F-16 unit right across the street. Those guys were the hardest to check out in a C-182 (Not very Fast). Had to keep explaining what those pedals on the floor where for during landing. I am not picking on the Military guys I just am saying every type of flying is different and there just needs to be quality training no matter what your background.

Jagbag, a .22 calibre hole appeared in one of our B206 Jetrangers some years ago in SE UK. Up through the aft fuselage and into the boot. Six feet forwards and that might have been in the pilots ass. Never figured exactly when or where it happened...
