Nice change of pace with a civilian/military outfit. Agree that it would be lovely to have a float plane for holidays!

[@Aircrewinterview]

Cheers.

I got to sit in one of those L-159s at Caslav Air Base in the Czech Republic in 2002 (while I was still on active duty), on a trip to train Czech Forward Air Controllers/JTACs. Controls/displays very much like the F-16C, except for the center stick.

Nice one.

the Draken planes fly over my house daily - its really nice to get a bit more info about who they are and what they do

[@Aircrewinterview]

Likewise so it was a great day chatting to Parge.

Nice second job know a few ex mil guys that have done similar so well trained leaving the forces a shame not to continue doing what you do best.

They always wave to GA pilots down at Teesside when they are returning from a sortie.

[@Aircrewinterview]

Ah brilliant.

[@VulcanDriver1]

[@Aircrewinterview]

Nice.
