Yeah, but the old tub I was on could do "30kts and No Smoke". We were Nukular. USS Bainbridge, CGN-25. But the Meyer does indeed look really good.

Y'know, of course I am no aerobatics expert (I'm still just an amateur pilot), but watching the BBC video of Bob Hoover, I suspect it's pretty close to being centered. Just a guess, though. I've only enjoyed two incipient spins with an instructor, long ago.:dunno:

Bank of Bolivar. Local, friendly, GA friendly. and you know the folks who work there. And Clowntry wide will **NEVER** get a penny from me ever again. I plan on making that part of my will, to the tenth generation...

Arrrrgh! It be the USS Mesa Verde, LPD 19 (yeah, I know it ain't "Talk Like a Pirate Day, but...;)). for more info, go to: http://www.mesa-verde.navy.mil/default.aspx Hope that helps.

So glad I got to see you, Diana and Tom! (And I didn't even know about it. I've just gotta find more time to relax!) See ya soon.:yes:

D'oh!!!:mad::( Why did I not notice this thread sooner!? Stinkeroo! Well, next year... Again, happiest of birthdays, young lady...:cheerswine: (could just kick myself...)

Many, many happy returns--and loops, and spins, and rolls, and Immelmanns, and...:yes:

Most interesting! So must one use a 305 or other unit, or will my iPAQ 2295 with AnyWhere Map work? (I'm betting not.)

I thought one of the requirements for supersonic capability was a stabilator/"moving tail" (to work through the transonic shock waves)? Does the 747 have a stabilator? I thought it was a horizontal stabilizer with elevators.

Know thine gauges: My PA-28 140 has an electric oil temperature gauge, but its oil pressure gauge is a bourdon tube. So if I see a low pressure indication, it is a low pressure indication.

Hey! My 81 Suzuki GS450E ran great for some 37000 miles:D! Then the engine from a nearly new GS450L stretched the bike to about 70000 miles before it just became too old and decrepit to maintain. Hardly ever did anything to the engines, just occasional oil/filter changes, carb synch, and valve...

Sheesh, Dave! My rich "uncle" invited me over to one of his digs five times way back when, and I never got to eat one of those desserts! It ain't fair!:P Enjoy your vacation!:)

I wish I could do the same with my dad... Thank you for reminding us of the the bond between fellow aviators, and family...:yes:

Aw-w-w-w-w--how cute! Congrats, Grandma!! Those "4-d" ultrasounds are revolutionizing pre-natal medicine, that's for sure.

Indeed, that's exactly what it's all about, Dan! Great write-up (both parts 1 and 2), and a great lesson (or two--or three, or...). P.s.--ya shoulda joined the Navy;).

You both are in my thoughts and prayers, Leslie and Grant...

Well, I'm glad Grant bumped this up again! I don't think I was around when it John first posted it. Now I too have had the pleasure of reading this fond memory...

Great job, Brook! And good on you, Diana, for being assertive re: the collar. :yes:

Well, before I forget all the details, I'll recall my wife's first flight, Saturday, June 14th. Got up usual time, went out to the airport (M17). Dean and Wendell are going to PTS, but Mary has decided to try and get into the plane (PA-28 140). She has had some physical problems, and...

But...Where is TSA?!!?:hairraise::D
