In article , Al G says...
And he can claim a different one every time he flies as a passenger as
it is likely the 757 on this flight is different from the last flight.

Ok, I get it. In fact, I had extensive "control line" experience prior to my
actual licensing.

Gee I never thought about control line . I flew competition Combat ,Rat Race and
Carrier events for about 15 years bet I got an easy 3 - 4 thousand hours I never
counted. I still fly indoor free flight started when I was 9 so I bet there's
another 3-4 thousand hours.Then there's hand launched gliders ,RC and free
flight. I bet I got 12 -13 thousand hours and you should have seen some of the
loops rolls and spins I did with some of them. Some had a slight phugoid
tendency with a slightly damped yaw harmonic divergence and a delightful pitch
positive obedient yaw coupling. I went to the same journalistic schoo; zoom
attended. I guess I'm a test pilot as well with hundreds of test flights in new
untried designs.LOL!!!
