Art on the other hand, has been in a position many times where he
might have had to land a B26 himself. (Never hurts to cross train on a
bomber crew you know :-))

Interesting you should bring that up, Pauk gave me a lot of stick time
whenever possible. FIrst straight and level, then hide and seek around
clouds
and finally touch and goes on cloud tops But what surprised me was how
much
muscle it took to fly that B-26. It was real work after a while.

I figured he gave you a few hours. I would have! Life insurance for smart
people!!! :-))))
I can imagine how much of a handful the Marauder was. I've flown the B25 and
the F7F Tigercat. They were a handful for me. I can tell you that even
working an AT6 for seventeen minutes straight in an acro demonstration is
about the same workload on your arm as lifting heavy dumbbells for an hour.
I used to need a rubdown after every flight that involved heavy control use.
Oh well, those days are gone now. These days it's YARD WORK!!!!
Argggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!! :-)
