    ...could it be warm because MH370 had a few tons of plutonium in its cargo, and it's reacting and warming the ocean?

    ...trying to keep Madge going, but at last had given up and settled for a Mudlet Chockake and strong coffee; so strong that the trembling of her hands as she overhauled the local flying school's engines changed the nuts from octagonal to 16-pointed. "16 pointed nuts?" mused Ratso, as he tried to determine the point of his nuts, when suddenly...

    BMW weighs a ton, the boxer shakes a bit more than the 582, so a bit more more than a 503. Veedubs are not light, and the twin conversions need a redrive to match the bottom-end performance of the 503.

    Clearly not a LeDuc... it's a twin-boom pusher from memory, built between the wars, I think they made 4, only one found work, can't recall the name. More streamlined than a Waitomo Airtruk, but not much more attractive...

    oh no, we couldn't defraud the shareholders of that one dollar's profit just for the sake of an ethical recognition that we are a global society, not an anarchy!

    cyclone netting, which had an affect rather like a cheese grater on any impacting ultralights. The 'vette sped away, fishtailing wildly, and Madge fell out. Two ofOuter Nothing's finest looked down at him, and said...

    277 powered Condor, which didn't have the aspect ratio of the Pterodactyl Pterminal, but also didn't have the exciting wing flex - and the PP couldn't have flown down the street anyway. As the cries of "rev you little b%&%*&%" (familiar to all in the early UL scene) faded, the 'vette surged fowards and did excruciating damage to...

    i believe the Tiffy was also the first ground-attack aircraft to be used as tactical artillery; they flew a stacked orbit in the invasion (counter-invasion) of europe, and were directed onto specific german tanks... to the discomfort of the tank crews... not sure where, I don't have those histories to hand!

    I think the key phrase is energy management... work out a contingency plan, that will not take you out of your familiarity with the aeroplane - "comfort zone" - and stick to it. My comfort zone varies a bit with currency, as well as my type experience with simulated engine failure (I earned a mild commment from an instructor, when doing a biennial in a Drifter, I followed a T-83 engine-out flightpath, and had to slip hard to get it into the chosen paddock. He pointed out that I could'veused a nearby road, or glid back to the airstrip from the height I started...). I personally distrust country roads, as there are thin wires in all sorts of odd spots...

    quoits interpreter? Anyway, the unfortunate Don Q tried to reel back, but there's not enough room in a Lightwing, so he reeled fowards instead. "Gerrof ya basterd!" yelled the right-seat man, as St Madge rained repeated blows onto the back of Don Q's head, the right-seat man, and...

    [quote="Head in the clouds, post: 429319, [ATTACH]29163[/ATTACH][ATTACH]29164[/ATTACH] Great bit of history, I believe the Typhoons had a very significant role in their few years of service. The four 20mm cannon gave a bit more firepower than a P-51 I thought?
