I can attest to Tony being a real "charger" when it came to doing something with an airplane. When the Lockheed L-1011 Flight Simulator was first installed in the training building at Palmdale, CA, Tony was invited out from Burbank to "give it a try". Tony climbed into the left seat, a Lockheed flight instructor was in the right seat, and I was one of the two flight engineers on board. After take off and a little time spent feeling out the aircraft response, and without telling the instructor pilot, Tony started into a slow roll. The flight instruments followed Tony's control inputs, and so did the large hydraulic actuators, at least to the end of their initial roll travel. There we sat, or hung, in a maximum travel right wing down attitude while the flight instruments continued their roll indications. Then everything really came un-glued when the flight instruments reached the end-of-roll attitude which was a left wing down. All those large hydraulic actuating cylinders holding the simulator box swapped ends at their maximum rate which gave the whole "box" and us a real shake up to say the least. The noise was rather abrupt and loud as well. Stabilizing in a wings level attitude and trying a few small pitches and rolls revealed that everything seemed to be OK. Complaints? None. After all, Tony was Lockheeds Director Of Flying.
