Default Bothering a Pilot on Final

I had a totally different kind of experience at BED that is fun to
talk about. We had an ex Navy pilot -- flew F14's -- in the left seat
of the Mooney. He hand flew the ILS on a bumpy day under the hood,
needles rock solid in the middle, all the while carrying on a
conversation with us about an unrelated technical matter that would
have required a normal person's full attention.

He was probably the best pilot, in terms of airplane handling ability,
I had even witnessed. He did confess the low stall speeds in the
Mooney took some getting used to.

Other than very fit, handsome, funny, skilled and smart he was just
like most other pilots I knew.

I wonder what it would take to distract him on final: Incoming?

Bingo, I have a friend who is a former U-2 pilot and he flew some
manuvers made the instruments look broken (never bounced the needles)
while talking to someone in the back seat (turned around).

Wow,

Margy
