I suspect you're picturing the pilot staring continually at the video
screen while taxiing... that's not at all what I'd imagine.


Doesn't sound as if Dudley has spent much time driving an automobile
with an in-dash GPS. :-)


Nope, not much I'm afraid; but on the other hand, a bit more than a few
hours in tailwheel fighter planes if that counts for anything :-)


Heh heh heh... if you want to see what's (unadvisedly...) possible,
watch the morons driving down busy highways watching dashboard-mounted
video screens, texting with their cell phone, or my personal favorite,
reading. Makes taxiing a warbird seem safe in comparison. ;-)
