Hey Airwolf, why the hell would anyone want to fly upside-down? Did you moon the moon? I'm glad that you weren't shot down by the Homeland Security folks :-) Ray Title: Re: Heavenly bodies...

Hi Ray, LMAO! I was just speaking to Dave on the phone today about that. I don't mean "inverted" as in upside down. I meant inverted in a dive. Nose down. Sorry folks if came out wrong. It's part of "Recovery from unusual attitudes". Part of the training. Upside down is Aerobatics. Not my kind of thing......yet. :-)))) Jay Title: Congratulations!

Hi Airwolf, It looks like you did it! Fantastic! Was that you I saw flying by upside down? Thanks for missing my house! Did your instructor have to change his diaper after you landed? ROFLMAO!

[This message has been edited by Jay] Thanks Dave :-), That 20 year old has more stones than I ever did. His mom was a flight attendant and he's been flying since age 11 in S. Florida. Jay PS- Best part of the flight was doing three landings at Ft. Lauderdale Intl. A first for me. Even got caught in wake turbulance of a 717 that we were following on final. Not too bad, though. REAL busy airport, but I handeled ATC well. Somehow I knew wtf they were all talking about. Plus my southern drawl helps to fit in. LOL! Three controllers all talking to 20+ aircraft at once. Very scary, yet demanding. Quite a challenge. Jay Title: Congratulations Jay! Post by: Jimbo on February 12, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Congratulations!, posted by Jay on Feb 12, 2003
Three landings, that's great. I was worried because I know that some of those Florida flight schools don't put a lot of emphasis on landings or takeoffs. Some people are only in it for straight and level flight. Hopefully your school doesn't have a sign that says "Learn to Fly Here" LOL! Keep it up my man! Jim Title: LMAO!!
