The secret of ones expertise is to not let the average punter know how complicated it is for their experience to be seamless.If that makes sense.

Fair call PSW. Just for the hell of it I might say that I've always felt more safe flying in light aircraft both fixed wing and helo's than i do in the big buggers. I've completed HUET several times over the years which I find great fun and thankfully have never had to put the knowledge or experience to the test.p.s. I've always enjoyed low level flying as a passenger. Am i correct in remembering that a helo pilot once referred to it as "map of plan" flying?

I never, ever fly in anything with less than 2 stewardesses. You wanna see what I had for dinner and breakfast? Put me in a small flying coffin.

25 years ago I had the privilege of being a passenger in a SF.260 for a 1/2 hour session over some Californian desert with an air-force vet' in a mock dog-fight with another Marchetti.What can I say but PHhhhh@k!, what an experience.Loops. barrel rolls, stalls. As old mate said, "the whole 9 yards" or as some of us Aussies might say, "a burger with the lot".Younger and fitter then so the contents of my stomach stayed put and at times of the maximum 'G's' being pulled felt the curious sensation of "the blinds coming down" which was a black line coming down over my vision on my way to blacking out only to be saved from such a fate when released from the said forces of a manoeuvre.It may not be for everyone but it remains one of my highlight experiences in my life. You'd never get me to go bungee jumping though, that sh!t is just plain dangerous.
