Thanks for that, Bob. It sounded lovely, and I am glad that such
excitement is still available from whatever source.
Another big thrill is seeing the runway lights from the front of a
fast jet after a long trip through sh*te weather, especially if the
Talkdown controller on the radar is a nice-sounding lady.
And once, when I was learning on the Jaguar at Lossiemouth (on the
Moray Firth in Scotland), I flew at night to Leuchars (near St
Andrews) and carried out a precision radar approach (PAR). As I
completed the approach and left the frequency I paid the customary
compliment to the sexy-sounding lady on Talkdown, "Going en-route,
that was a good talkdown." The reply from said sexy-sounding lady"
"Thanks, you flew it well."
I smiled happily all the way back to Lossiemouth; I thought I was
greeeaaat! :-)
