At least the lucky owner has the good sense to hire a professional pilot rather than fly/crash it himself ...

But then again, we don't know what type of driver you are ?!!  >:D  :))

Well with just under 4000 hours (accident free) I would say I'm ok!  Certainly don't want to slag myself off with all the wealthy guys on here, you never know if they will need my services in the future.  ::)

I always remember the following phrase that was on the wall at he flying school. 'A superior pilot is one that uses his skill to avoid a situation that requires the use of his superior skill.' It's a very flexible phrase that is true in so many walks of life.

I noticed at Heathrow the current Lufthansa fleet now all have HIDs for landing lights........not sure about the red/green LEDs on the wings though......they don't go with the paint job.... :P

Ah, Executive Class then.......the only way to fly.  :D

We got bumped up to 1st Class coming home......and that really is the way to fly, but at the equivalent of £1,000 an hour for the ticket it's a little insane price wise.  :o.

Not that I object to being moved into it though.....as long as it's free :P

I suspect your chopper is a lot more comfortable and quiet than the Chinooks I used to buzz about in the back of. :'(
