Eric, and Dango,

I don't care if you guys love Mack or not, as long as Mack is over 18 and willing. It wasn't my idea, but we are in the era of don't ask, don't tell., or maybe anything goes, long as Mack can shoot a gun, operate a radar or fly a helicopter.

And if you don't know Mack personally, if he is just an internet buddy, I would advise against sending a shirtless photos over the internet, it just might not turn out well , even if you have toned and trim abs.

I fly a 7X for my day job. Calling it an EASy cockpit is laughably ironic. 16 ways to do anything...not one of which are easy. This thing needs a control/alt/delete button somewhere something fierce. Hands down the most aggravating airplane I've ever flown. Dassault went so rigid in the operational methodology on this bird that many times, doing one little thing out of sequence results in the requirement for a complete reinit of the whole aircraft. We've decided 7X stands for 7 x the aggravation. The brake handle has officially been renamed the dammit handle, 'cause forgetting to set it before powering up results in a whole slew of CAS messages, and the #3 IRS won't align...resulting in an ensuing motley blend of profanity and/or (usually and) insults about the plane, about Dassault, and about the French in general.
