Not certain, but pretty sure I went through the Q-course with him. Cool.

You more than likely did.

The last thing we did together was Australian PTS in Nowra 1989. He was talking about A&S in the near future. While we were there, he almost (Well, he actually did) crashed and burned coming in under an MT1-XX. Wound up smacking one of the vehicles head on that was in the parking lot....I have to admit, it was funny because his pride was crushed more than his body was.
