I was flying in an Avro Lancaster 2 years ago, and I had a chance to chat with the pilot who is a commercial pilot for Air Canada.
He tells me he will take the Lanc every. single. time if he chooses between that and a commercial airliner. You had to literally fly that damn plane, like you know, a real pilot.
Talk about feeling the soul of an airplane...
