Only thing a drag, was the Hoover can land in a tailwind, so after catching the rest of the birds, the boat would turn back on course giving you a tail/crosswind. Made lineup fun as often the ship would still be in a slight turn as the Boss wanted to secure flightops, etc.
I could teach anybody to do it, just gotta have the mind for it
