Just wonder if there is someone else here that is enjoying flying
Wait, I thought that was an upside!?[snip]you don't have to be sexually assaulted by the TSA before you board.
Bernoulli effect has nothing to do with aircraft overcoming gravity, its money that makes airplanes fly. The more money you have, the faster, higher, and farther you can fly.I started taking lessons ( An expensive hobby ) and was just about ready to solo when I found out I need to have a heart valve replaced and that will disqualify me medically. I'm hoping after the surgery I'm able to get a waiver from the FAA
About 25 years ago, a USAF pilot told me that all the Bernoulli theories of flight were rubbish. F-4s were only able to get off the ground because of ugliness.Bernoulli effect has nothing to do with aircraft overcoming gravity, its money that makes airplanes fly.

If you don't have one already, get yourself an AME that is NOT your regular doctor.
Agreed and I am just not sure about an aircraft were the wings fly faster than the rest of it!About 25 years ago, a USAF pilot told me that all the Bernoulli theories of flight were rubbish. F-4s were only able to get off the ground because of ugliness.
The Earth repelled them.
I can also believe this about helicopters!
;-})
I agree with this suggestion for everyone!If you don't have one already, get yourself an AME that is NOT your regular doctor.
You can have the NOE stuff! I tried that ONE TIME with a rotary pilot friend at the end of a training deployment; no thanks.I was a Helicopter Crew Chief in the USAF with Search & Rescue and was part of the aircrew. It's the only way to fly!
If it doesn't hover, it sucks and blows!
Oh, and helicopters don't fly, they beat the air into submission. And they're not aircraft, they're 10,000 nuts, bolts, and spare parts flying in close formation.
(When 9/11 happened I went back in the miitary, but in the Army that time, and as a Paladin Gunner (mechanized artillary). Not nearly as fun as screaming in NOE on a hot pick-up, but at least I got to blow stuff up with my one five five!
:: gasp:: You wouldn't be suggesting that I "forget" to inform the AME of anything now would ya....If you don't have one already, get yourself an AME that is NOT your regular doctor.
