Enjoyed the laugh

I especially enjoyed his generalizations .. 'this always works' regardless of aircraft type .. he's prolly the laughingstick of where-ever he hangs out.
I hope he doesn't end up in *my* backyard in a smokin hole!

Excellent reply Eagl

Any of yas want/need to get 'into' how an airplane works . . really .. I highly recommend 'Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators' or at least a basic aerodynamic text book.

If you can swing it .. a couple years of aerodynamics in college is da bomb with a good instructor.

The guy hits a few points, but seems to be in the dark about a lot of things he needs to know if he actually flies, and moreso if passengers are involved.

All the trim in the world wont save yer butt when wind shear shoves you fifteen degrees off center on short final.. in the Mustang with full flaps an gear hangin and airspeed windin down to flare, it's rudder and a lot of it or a very bad day at the office.

I still consider myself a "new guy" in the aviation business so that ought to tell you how his experience stacks up against those who have really done something in aviation.

Hey eagl.

If ya dont mind me asking, Whats it like to fly a modern fighter AC...
(yeah I know that the F-15 is getting on but I think it's still modern)
Is it all work and no play (ie ya spend all ya time managing the AC) or is it a thrill every time ya take off... ?

Thank God I arrived before he did.

Eagl... good post

Arrogant people like that aren't worth the time it takes to read their message much less type to. Even if he had been right, which I believe has been disproven for the most part, you can't change their mind and the beliefs to which they are married.

good luck

Sometimes when I'm really concentrating on a difficult task while flying, I'll start humming a song, or I catch myself singing "doobie doobie do" or something equally mindless. Almost everyone has SOMETHING odd they do when they concentrate that hard, so it's not suprising that some pilots are whistling right about the time the ***** hits the fan.

I dunno why this is, but in some cases it's a deliberate attempt to reduce tension to aid in decision making and precision flying.

It seems to be a very common thing. My 1st solo on both fixed and rotary I sang/hummed all the way round the circuit without realising I was doing it. I think as you said its just a way of trying to relax in a high stress/concentration environment. Talking to some of the single seat fixed wing boys it seems they never shut up when flying and constantly talk to themselves.

Holy old post batman!

Other than the original flamethrower not being a pilot (I have type ratings in 310's and Senecas too...

) Most folks also if they start collecting types don't bother getting their CFI's but aaaaaaanyways...

(in more recent news)
The Mooney isn't a fat bastage you blasphemer!!!! It's a lean trim hotrod to do what it does on 200hp. The new ones are just that much better.

81kts is the magic number over the numbers. One of the easiest airplanes around to land. It'll float just like the Cirrus will even if you're just +5kts over your target airspeed.

I'm getting the itch...I might have to drive back to Columbus to fly my old airplane.

Golf to be honest with you im not the biggest fan of the mooney...I havnt flown it since my commercial, getting the complex hours...I would have much rather flown a RG...Dont get me wrong, the mooney is awesome for range, and time on CC's, but I just hate landing it...I prefer my baby Grumman Tiger lol...Oh well, I guess im just a wimp...but im trying to transiton into rotary so screw fixed wing! =)...........................(with my luck, 10 years from now i'll prolly still be flying fixed wing lol)

Golfer · « **Reply #28 on:** August 14, 2006, 07:23:34 PM »

soooo you want to fly 10,000 parts all in close formation?

maybe the mooney really isn't for you

Hey, if he is going to slam you he should at least get the spelling correct!
