    I can remember asking an instructor to demonstrate a climb / vertical stall turn (don't know the word) The manouvre was a fizzer An Airtourer I think - the plane fell back - in reverse gear ............. a lesson on how not to do it ! It was like backing into a Woolworths parking lot ................ and hitting a couple of shopping trollies on the way in

    and the data says (numbers rounded) * 70 c dents per 100 miles (fuel) * 40 miles per gallon (fuel) * means that fuel was 28 cents per gallon ? * cigarettes and ashtrays were probably a minimal cost to the body back then

    true BD ............. but its always advantageous to discuss the absurdity of things (if seen as absurd) something good might come of it by their nature - bureaucracies must go there (either required, not required, willingly or reluctantly)

    my understanding is the airfield owner gets a 'cut' of the landing fee - the 'cut' % age is probably confidential that system is an easy sell for Avdata in that when the airfield owner gets used to the 'take' ................... it's probably then easy for Avdata to get out the thumbscrews ......... and then create a really solid symbiotic mutually beneficial business relationship
