Bad Pilot, BAD Pilot

Re: Bad Pilot, BAD Pilot

I was joking, like saying BAD dog, BAD dog. I know that I'm competant, but I want to be even better than I am now. That's why I'm going up with the missionary pilot in my Taylorcraft. I figure that he will be able to fine tune my skills when it comes to short steep approaches.

Re: Bad Pilot, BAD Pilot

All this talk about fine tuning approaches remind me of my days of flying radio in C-121s on pilot training flights. One of the exercises was shooting high altitude off center approaches. It wasn't bad until I stood behind the pilots and watched the runway make like a windshield wiper. It's a lot different in a ship of that size than in an L-2. The students were already Naval avaitors amd had complied at least 500 hours in C-45s. Dick

Re: Bad Pilot, BAD Pilot

Yeah, I know what you meant. My wife tells me I'm a BAD boy all the time, but I know I'm really wonderful. I have to approach over trees so I usually slip in then pull it out at the last minute wondering if this is going to be the one time the controls jam.
