    D models had ailerons. G & H models had flight spoilers, no ailerons. Initially, in a turn, there was a slight nose up moment as a result.

    BUFF formation takeoff

    That was a “cell” formation takeoff, usually one minute interval spacing. We didn’t always fly 3 ship; I’ve flown 2 ship and 4 ship (more rare). Station-keeping accomplished using the lead aircraft FCS and following aircraft BNS/Radar. A “formation takeoff” in the B-52 was actually a called a...

    Is the propeller + engine canted / offset to the side on a Cessna 210 ?

    No. It is straight. and far more elegant than a low wing propeller. stand back now.

    Yes. You might investigate how the AEF penetrated weather after combat patrols in France 100+ years ago. interesting reading.

    Does Ukraine Have the Capacity for a Doolittle Raid.

    They don’t. Perhaps it would be a really bad idea to do “fun” things like trying to overload or spoof their early warning systems. PVO Strany and Russian air defenses are already on edge, no doubt their Strategic Rocket Forces are living at an increased state of readiness. It’s not the 80’s...

    I owned a Cherokee 140/160 for nearly 28 years. Great airplane. Low wing. Cessna is much easier to get into, to load, more comfortable in flight. Especially as you get older. High wing. They both fly fine. If you’re looking for an airplane to fly occasionally to get the $150 hamburger...

    Sinus Issues 1st Class Medical

    Go to an AME for a consultation to be certain, but I had my sinuses reamed out twice to fix chronic sinus infections. Worked fine, didn’t affect my Class I at all. Miserable surgery, but it works. Mine was 25 years ago; maybe they don’t use the pipe cleaners anymore. Good luck.
