My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

Matt Hall was in a documentary called Real Top Guns when he was still in the RAAF - they had a segment of him doing acrobatics in his small plane during his spare time and also said that he was taught by his dad to fly at a very early age.

He almost got shot down by Iraqi AAA during the war:
