Who knows?
Oh, wait, an A320 🤔, I think the Dawg only lets himself fly 'murican machines.

Well, we can always tell the remarkable story of French Air Force Captain Denis Turina, who during his career had to eject three times !
His book is entitled " 3 Ejections "

·June 6 today... World War II photograph showing two Luftwaffe non-commissioned officers (Wachtmeister and Oberfeldwebel) setting a 55mm B Uhr (Beobachter Uhr - Observer wrist watch) using a boxed Marine chronometer. Preflight checks also included listening to a time radio signal sent by one of the renowned astronomical observatories in Germany (Hamburg, Göttingen).

·While i dont like what goes around vehicles in aviation (despite i had to study and know everything about it) I'm on the other side of the bench and work with what's before an aircraft can even get the authorization to depart or land.
I'm an aviation expert and passionate which lead many AIS to AIM transitions and work today as a product manager for an aviation software.
Glad to see this thread exist ❤️
