Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow AH pilot,and indeed he is a R/L pilot.I sat in the captains seat,and Frenchy sat in the co-pilots seat, explaining to me the various gauges etc. on his twin engined freight aircraft.I wasn't too surprised by the difficulty I had moving the yoke around,as I had heard it was much more difficult in R/L,but it still took a lot of effort indeed.Frenchy told me this aircraft is from the old school,meaning it had to be flown carefully.I quickly went into AH mode,and tried to look back to check the view.The hair on the back of my neck stood up,as all I could see was the left wingtip!Soon the freight truck showed up,and now being loaded,it was time to say good bye.I watched Frenchy taxi the bird out,and wait for his clearence from the tower.Soon he began rolling,and took off in a very short time,as Frenchy said to me,we freight pilots can yank and bank.He banked to the southeast and was Salt Lake bound.I'm better off for the time I had to enjoy with Frenchy,and I will put it in my pleasureable moments in life.

Frenchy, good guy :aok old squad mate ...from the beginning of time.
When he was teaching down here in Florida I hooked up with him to do my Biannual Flight Review (BFR) he is a great guy.

IronDog, great meeting you, you are a super nice person. I enjoyed showing around. Few of us have the opportunity to fly stuff bigger than single engine GA airplane, it's only natural to share the experience with fellow aviation enthusiasts when the opportunity rises. Like I said before, ID/CO/UT based AHers interested, hit me up I'll find some time top share the passion.
Scoot, you still around the board :t I'm indeed overdue for a visit in FL, I miss buzzing the swamps in your rocket. Here's some pics from flying in NorthWest. I'm in SLC, in case you guys travel by. Cheers!
