Another Cirrus Down
Aw, c'mon. There must be SOMEthing out there you don't know. 8)
And that would make you a student!
Or was what my Air Force Pilot Dad said about Navy pilots correct?
(real big grin)
(He was a pilot back in the 40s through 60s. He had many stories, some
of which I learned from in later years after I got my own license. A
couple of his best, scariest, funniest stories did happen to involve
navy pilots.
Later I went into the navy myself {forced in by the draft} While I
absolutely hated the navy, I did have to admit one thing with no
reluctance. Every time my Dad took off, he came home to the same or
similar airport. When the navy carrier pilots came home, the ship had
moved, was pointed some other direction, was changing in altitude
during the landing, and grade wasn't stable either. And to top it off,
the strip was really, really short. ANY pilot has to respect THOSE
guys.)
