who if anyone has the record for most aircraft types
& how many types have the pilots here flown?
Eric Brown the British test pilot must be one of the elite in this
contest.
Yes, Eric Brown has flown a plethora of aircraft types... but one must
remember that Hanna Reitsch flew a cruise missile- the Fi-103 (V-1)
successfully as well as many sailplanes (including DFS 230), the Fw 61
helicopter, Me-323, Me-163, Me-262, Fw 190, and the heroic descent
into Berlin with Von Greim in a Fi-156 Storch. As the Fatherland's
best test pilot she was much braver than the guys and one of the last
century's greatest test pilots- female or otherwise
Deja vu...the vision of Arndt in the Dr Strangelove role fighting to keep
that right arm down just keeps popping up in my head.
