Copy all, it would be interesting to know what those issues were. As a guy who was flying the C-5 at 24 with 250 hours (*knowing the laundry list of differences could go on endlessly*), it seems like a crazy restriction. Not sure how the triple flies, but I imagine, like the C-5, it flies like an airplane. Maybe even easier from what my friends tell me. But I think all the complaints about the guppy are overrated as well.
Must be my superior airmanship and chest hair.
It’ll be interesting to see what the company and the Union do when this becomes a thing, and I think it will sooner rather than later.
