Default Help With My training

Nomen Nescio was thinking very hard :
Wait until you've done an intense hour of touch & go's, get in you car to
drive
home, accelerate through about 40-45 mph, and realize that you're starting
to apply back pressure to the steering wheel.


Something similar happened to several American POWs after their release
from North VN.

A Colorado car dealer gave those from that state a Corvette, each.

Within less than a year, they'd all managed to damage them, to a greater
or lesser degree.

In one case, one of them was driving through an intersection, when
trying to avoid hitting someone who had blown through a red light,
pulled back hard on the steering wheel to avoid a crash.

Well, the last vehicles they'd operated were jet fighters, and none of
them had driven much at all for several years.
