    Very enjoyable interview and most informative! Great guest too! And nice to hear from the Hellenic Air Force. One that's easily overlooked but which - to my knowledge - stands out by its high standards of professionalism. It comes with the (geographic) territory I guess.

      Thank you for taking down my post,Lou.I answered to a very balshey Tuk and obviously you did not like that.I do not know why in recent years,Greece has become so subservient to Turkey.I know good relations are not such a bad thing but when they overstep the mark,you have to respond and not bow down.I wonder if you would have done the same when provoked.I very much doubt that.

    Thank you for your service toy the country Lou. Interesting to see A7 pilots stay faithfull to their first love, even after getting their hands on an F16. All the success to your new enterprise!

    I am lucky enough to fly with Lou every now and again in our DCS squadron
    Can honestly say he is one of lifes Gentlemen and as genuinely great bloke.
    Anyone who gets the chance to fly with our "Rusty" should take the oppertunity.

    I know it's probably not a huge market, but I still think it's a cool business idea to offer DCS flights or training guided by a former fighter pilot. Seems like a good fit and I wish him well. He *really* likes the A-7, so maybe he'll get a decent mod for it in DCS sometime!
