scale' flying. In Vietnam I had the chance to take the stick on an OV-10 for about a half hour, with

the pilot telling me which way to go. We'd finished the missions and were just joy riding. It *is*

much easier to 'fly' the thing when you have a horizon and can feel what the airplane is doing.

Plus, you're always headed in the same direction as the airplane and don't have to worry about

'backwards' steering. It's cool.


Wow, John. YOu got to drive a Bronco for a bit? That's way cool!
