@@Aircrewinterview thank you! 😀

I haven't listened to this interview yet but I'm sure they can. There are various ACMI pods that can be loaded onto the jet.

Cheers mate.

Thanks very much!

There are differences of opinion about sidesticks. For high-G maneuvers, they take less effort. For injuries and ergonomics, there's a different school of thought. With a center-mounted stick, you can fly the plane with either hand or both hands. With the sidestick, you have to use your right hand. The big issue is what happens if the pilot gets injured and CAN'T use his right hand? The pilot can't swap his hands and pilot with his left hand and you'll lose the plane unless it's a two-seat version. The other thing is that by mounting the stick on the right, you lose most of the console space on the right side because the pilot's arm will be lying on the side of the cockpit.

@@AvengerII … So that is based on personal experience? You've flown both center-stick and side stick airplanes? Which types? Thank you.

Thanks Phil.

@@Aircrewinterview I imagine you all excited to meet pilots of this level, yet surprised to find out these almighty people from the sky are actually quite humble and simple, and they are flesh and blood. Only that their stories might be far more interesting than those we can count being just over ground :D
