This list may give an inkling of the man. :y

Yep. will have to leave for work late so I can listen to that on the way. I've got a lot of respect for him. Absolute master of anything that flies, and an awful lot more that doesn't, yet comes across as being so modest, and still sharp as a pin. :y

Still, I reckon I've got more gliders in my log book than him. :P
