Is anyone else here as *sick* of Budd Davission as I am? If I have to read one more clichéd pilot report from him I think I'll puke.

Personally, I'm glad you posted the link to Budd's report. I found it interesting to see someone else's thoughts from the same type airplane. Even though I obviously didn't agree to everything he said, it's still his opinion and was interesting to read. The same goes with Bill's report and anyone else who's flown the same type airplane.
I'd also be curious to read if anyone else's experience in the Sea Fury was like mine, or if they had other thoughts about how that airplane flew.

I read it – I actually get addicted to reading his old stuff. It reminds me of being a kid and waiting for the next Air Progress and dreaming of what it would be like to fly all those cool things. The old ones are like eating cheese puffs – you can't stop, but you don't feel particularly nourished afterward. I re-read recently his articles about Junior Burchinal and loved 'em. It just seems that every magazine you pick up these days he is writing for and it all seems the same. I much prefer the writing of Mr. Austin.[/quote]
