I don't think most of us have the skill to fly more than one airplane at
the same time. Bob Hoover maybe. I know he can pour a glass of water
from a pitcher while simultaneously performing a barrel roll. :-)

It is really difficult to fly more than one airplane at a time --
getting out of one cockpit, climbing out on the wing, down the wing of
the next plane and climbing into THAT plane's cockpit takes a lot of
skill and energy -- especially in turbulence!

Landing more than one at a time is really a bitch, too!

As for being current in several types concurrently -- I have done that,
as have many of my friends -- you just have to learn how to
compartmentalize.
