Two of the best B-52 pilots that I knew became instructors for
Boeing in the 727 program.. Bill Yingling and Charlie Page...
But that was 30 years ago. Have you heard of them???
The AT-7, AT-11 and C-45 versions of the Beech 18 made
an idiot of many good pilots on landing... Also the Gooney
Bird could do the same.... The gooney is still flying
until parked. :)
