Actually, in a panic it is pronounced "OH S**********T!" or "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" while bending the impossible-to-bend 1 inch thick control column and rudder pedal shafts... and ripping random control surfaces from the airplane by the violent control imputs.  :)

Siai Marchettis and Cessna 150s are very nice - when you give up and let go, they come right out of the spin, saving more strength for your incoherent screaming...

I must agree about the Marchettis.  Flying against a squaddie at Air Combat USA, we found ourselves in a vertical scissors and just as i was trying to baby the airplane around a half roll at the top, it fell through and i was in a spin.  all it took was opposite rudder, a hair of aileron and i was out of it.  Really surprised me since they have the 'razor' wings and all.  The best part about that fight was the 'hard deck' was the cloud layer, and the ceiling was another cloud layer.  clear and bump free from about 4000-7000 feet.

Here's a shot he took of me flying the wing, not quite tucked up all the way but I ended up with my wingtip between his wing and horizontal stab.

Air Combat is where I flew one, also.  Man, if I only had $300,000...

My day was much worse than yours, two cloud layers also, but completely gray.

I'd recommend these guys to any AH player who wants to see it for real.

My gaelic is weak, my love of single malts is not.

Congratulations, you're the first person who does not think my name is glen. :)

Lagavulin, Balvenie, too.  MacClelland's was a pleasant surprise.

Add another $100,000 to the cost of a Marchetti for whiskey.

Uisge Beatha (Ooshky-bay, more or less) means "Water of Life" in Scottish Gaidhlig which is closely related to the Latin "Aqua Vitae" meaning the same thing. The English started calling it just Uiske (Ooshky) which eventually became "Whiskey".

Thanks very much!  One can never tell where the essential elements of one's education may come from!
