I could'nt tell for sure.

My worst IRL incident as a pilot happened 24 years ago (i just described it in the YAK-thread):
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...8&postcount=26
I can remember silly details like that I was a bit to the right of the ideal line when the tow pilot disconnected, the line was not loaded fully, it was sunny with 2/8 of Cumulus, the exact jacket I had on me, the jacket the instructor had on him etc - but what did I do more in 1986... Ehh - chased girls and drank cheap wine at high school parties probably? Who did I date? Don't remember... I am pretty sure I will remember the incident when I am 90 too if I get the privilege to remain "clear in my mind".
So if I remember an incident like that where no one got hurt, why should not a BoB pilot remember what is was like back then?
