Re: 30 Sqn Line Book

Can't remember who said it, but it must have been a training captain: "I've flown in both pilot seats, can someone tell me why the other one is always occupied by an idiot?"

Re: 30 Sqn Line Book

Come on Nick, what Dick actually said was,"No,I found one and am looking for the other!" Beach was at Banjul Yumdum.

I think one of the best was during the gulf war, 1st edition. I was flying with a scottish co-pilot just over Rhyad, bucking a 100kt head wind. ATC came up and Said "Air raid warning red, Scud attack inbound". Loadie said "now what do we do?" Copilot, quick as a flash," I'd better have my meal now before it goes to waste!"

Thanks for putting me right, Ray. Funny how the stories change with time and a few beers. Which is why we had the Line Book!
