Sort of reminds me of our uncle Doug during primary flight training:
[img]cid:image009.jpg(at)01CDE909.55F06DD0[/img]
Doug is the one in front. He said not much he could do all of a sudden he was pointing nose down.
I sponsored a private BBQ fly-in for years and at one point flew Doug out to see some of the planes he flew during WWII.
[img]cid:image010.jpg(at)01CDE909.55F06DD0[/img]
Doug piloted over 30 missions in the B-25 (forgive me if I have the aircraft wrong)
He said he could not believe how big it was today as he use to jump into it like it was a Cherokee.
[img]cid:image011.jpg(at)01CDE909.55F06DD0[/img]
Doug retired as a full Colonel and flew into his mid 70's.
