Glad to see you finally coming around Steven. There's no substitute
for experience but when I asked you how many hours you have in
a certain type your non sequitur response was "irrelevant."

Your message makes no sense whatsoever.

You must have a short memory:

I said:

"Please post your number of hours logged in experimental trikes
right here --____________"

You responded:

"Zero, and irrelevant."

In any event, now that you've acknowledged the priceless value of
experience, when it comes to ditching an Avenger I would agree with
you and give the nod to those whom have actual experience successfully
ditching the airplane in real world situations over what the book
says.

Of course, like many things in aviation it's not quite as cut and
dried as that and perhaps a combination of the book technique
and my fellow squadron mate's technique would be best. But having
ditched an aircraft myself, I still can't say for sure if I'd use the
same technique again in the event I find myself in the same situation
once again.
