So now I know where to lay the blame for yokes instead of sidesticks.
We also influenced many seemingly petty things like which way the door flight deck door opened.
I was about 50/50 for getting that thing right on the first push/pull of the trip.
The front end of the guppy is an outdated cramped little hell hole not to mention it's loud. I mean we are talking 1950's technology here.
All true but, unlike me, at 50 it'll be faster, longer and have more endurance than it had at 20.
