As someone previously mentioned, in the guns we sat in the right seat so we could fire the rockets. However, we left the CE on the left side so he could beat the Peterpilot over the head until he learned to fire the minis properly.
He also stayed there to see the instrument cluster
and talk to the AC when he was too busy to look at them. With Touch, I also wanted him on the left side because he could see me better and had better access to get me out of the seat if I was hit too bad to fly, and he could fly better than most Peterpilots, which I saw to early on. It was definitely a team effort, at least among the 3
of us that were regulars on the bird. Every once in awhile we'd take along an amateur like Palmer.(LOL) Sorry Tom, just couldn't resist.
