Since this was buried deep in the dawdling pilot thread, I thought I'd repost here and make it a fun little game.

Can you figure out who is who?

:D

Why does every discussion that is marginally useful get ground down to useless banter from only extreme viewpoints?

Because this usually happens:

  1. "And so I like to land on grass..."
  2. "Go ahead, but I flew with the Wright Brothers and they preferred sand. And everyone in the FAA, TSA, CIA, NSA, GSA, DHS, NGB, PETA, NBC, CBS, CNN, and XYZ thinks it's stupid."
  3. "Oh yeah? Well I have thirty for gazillion grass takeoffs and landings!"
  4. "Well, you're a lucky idiot, but the owner of the FAA said 'No way!" So there."
  5. "Here we go again -- Mister Perfection trots out his contacts. :rolleyes2:"
  6. "I flew with the Wright Brothers. They preferred sand. Everyone in the FAA, TSA, CIA, NSA, GSA, DHS, NGB, PETA, NBC, CBS, CNN, and XYZ thinks it's stupid."
  7. "I've done an analysis on grass coefficient of friction and {rest deleted for brevity] and I love the DA-40!! :D"
  8. "My Comanche lands on grass in floods. And in Snow. And in Molten Lava. You're all wussies."
  9. "My seven hundred year old airplane lands on grass -- crunchy, wet, green, brown, and legal -- every day. And twice on Sundays."
  10. "Oh really? Have you flown with the Wright Brothers? They preferred sand. Ask everyone in the FAA, TSA, CIA, NSA, GSA, DHS, NGB, PETA, NBC, CBS, CNN, and XYZ what they think -- But don't ask, because they will say 'It's stupid.'"
  11. "Grass landings are fine -- but in Texas we prefer mesquite."
  12. "I have owned airlines, flown the Space Shuttle, and Mister Sikorsky swam in my pool. [Name deleted] is an idiot. I am right. That is all."
  13. "I'm still up here. Can someone get me? I'm tired of gliding -- I've been up here fourteen days -- is that Japan? Oh boy."
  14. "So there I was, flying 13 inches AGL during the normal August frost when all of a sudden I saw a goose. Here are pictures of the goose:"
  15. "The Wright Brothers preferred sand. I've logged every minute of IMC in coach and so I have more hours in the air than alive. Go ahead and be stupid -- just don't call me when you run into a log truck crossing the runway."
  16. "I can't wait until Gastons!"
  17. "I've logged 863 hours in the past month flying from Egypt to Missouri back to Antarctica and then Cozumel on the way to Cleveland. I'm carrying 323 dogs and they are getting tired. I use my twin to mow the grass because I don't have time for that sort of thing. I invented a new airfoil in my free time. And a perpetual motion machine. And shot fifteen 0/0 approaches into Philly. In a row."
  18. "I paid for the servers so I say grass is fine. -- it's a landing, isn't it? Here is my latest gun."
  19. "Can someone give me a ride to Gaston's? For free?"
  20. "I'm in Lower Bagonnellatoonoo and flew [names removed]'s personal 767 here for their honeymoon. Yeah, had her. And I always land on grass. Never anything harder because it makes depth perception poor."
  21. "Nancy Pelosi never, ever landed on grass: www.leftieblogosphere.org/moveon/colbert/foxisbad.jsp George Bush banned grass. Why are we afraid of grass? Is there a terrorist behind every blade?"
  22. "The MC has closed this thread"
  23. "Why? This is America -- or isn't it? Wii and Nintendo. Land of the Free! I salute every day! Come to my hotel. Don't ask for the car."
  24. "So you think you're tough stuff because you land on grass? Big deal... ."
  25. "I hand built an entire grass runway and supercharged it with nitrous methane hydrospheric acid."
  26. "Oh really? Ask everyone in the FAA, TSA, CIA, NSA, GSA, DHS, NGB, PETA, NBC, CBS, CNN, and XYZ what they think -- But don't ask, because they will say 'It's stupid.' nitrous methane hydropsheric acid (moron!) reduces the friction coefficient by .0001%!"
  27. "Good grief. As we all know:

  28. "Whatever, Dude. I kicked Einstein's a$$. Now I'm heading out to fly blindfolded at 3" AGL -- just for fun."

I read all of that, and I still don't know why high-wings are better than low-wings.

Because only low wing pilots would ever say "Any traffic in the area, please advise!" Duh!

So now that you are the captain in the 340 (Low Wing), do you get to say the magic words again :D

I bet he tells his FO - Hey, Junior, make the traffic call, will ya?:cornut:

:rofl: That's exactly what I was going to say. I just let the FO do the radios so I don't have to get yelled at by the CTAF police! :incazzato:

About three weeks ago I listened to a 10 minute long fight on the PBG CTAF between an Allegiant FO and a local GA pilot over just this issue. It was lots of fun trying to make our position reports with that going on in our ear.
 
"Wussies" is a bit of a gentle word to be attributed to Ed, dontcha think?

They are not.

I have logged 3.2 gazillion hours in low wings and 3.141529 gazillion hours in high wings just this year so I am an expert in wing location superiority. Low wing wins hands down.

Dan, would help if you numbered them. I think Kent skipped the one before the one that was Tony. ;)

Erm... Well, I did check, there's 28 and I have 28 answers... ;)

Pretty good, but you missed Jay, Ted and Ed. :cool2:

Yeah, I'm sure there's other hotel owners, hundred-dogs-at-a-time transporters, and Comanche zealots here. ;)
 
I'm not a zealot. Zealots speak nonstop about the virtues of inferior products - like Macs. :D
