Sorry, I couldn't help myself, it's a quote from the YoungOnes.
How about anyone who has flown an SR71. If you haven't read any of the books written by the guys who flew em', you should. They required monitoring and manipulation of multiple systems manually...........all while flying at 42miles/per minute!!
........fail to do THIS properly, and you were punished with a flameout, which usually resulted in aircraft disintegration!!!! :o
