As you form up with the Team you mention "adjust seat". What exactly are you doing and why?

[Pogo]

You make some of the very best "insider's view" videos, Dave! Thanks so much for taking us along for the ride!

As you form up with the Team you mention "adjust seat". What exactly are you doing and why?

Mike, the Spitfire is not a comfortable aeroplane. The seat is very upright. Occasionally I shift the height just to get a change in the angle of my legs and butt. Also, as #2, I want the Hurricane in the maximum field of view, but behind the windscreen frame. So for me that is a lower seat position than when I fly as Lead (with the Hornet), since my job then is to see ahead.

Thanks for all the nice remarks! These videos take endless editing to become watchable.

Ahhh, poor, poor Dave. Thx

I tried to notice the helmet cam position in relation to the canopy, but didn't see much of a change.
