I have been very fortunate over a 32 plus year flying career, started as a Naval Aviator, to fly well over 80 types of aircraft. Most all aircraft would fall into what is termed "Warbirds". On July 29, 1999 I was involved in a very bad accident that left me paralyzed from the neck down. That certainly ended my wonderful flying adventures, or at least so I thought. I was invited on two different occasions to give speeches to the North Texas Aeromodelers Club. I have an extensive collection of original flight manuals for most of the World War II, Korean, and Vietnam era aircraft I have flown. These would be the focus of my speeches. Most of the guys were interested in how the real aircraft flew in comparison to RC scale models.

A Great pilot will practice until he can't get it wrong.

Snehal, who are you asking that question? Rcpilotacro? This thread is being viewed and commented upon by two crack IAF pilots and they will never talk about their sorties or experiences. It wouldn't be prudent on our parts to ask them about their experiences. 'Classified' details are best left classified.
