Ooh, that reminds me - you ever heard of doing a slip? I would love to, just for the hell of it.

Got that from Air Canada 243... I think that was the flight number anyway.

I don't like bombs. OoO I think I prefer to carry people and freight lol.

Interesting! Do you know, I only found out like a year ago that you reduce the power to reduce your speed. I always used to think that was what the elevators did.

never heard of it. what is a slip?

well hey, if you're in a war, unless they're paratroopers, you're gonna want to have bombs!

It's when you want to lose a lot of altitude in a short distance. They call is crossing the controls. Rudder and ailerons different direction and you basically fall down steadily on a 90* sideways angle.

That's true. And that's why I'm not a big fan of war. Then again, I suppose it's necessary. I'll just be staying out of the fighting.

that sounds fun! i'm not sure if its the same thing, but i like to go really fast, turn upwards at about 90 degrees, decrease the power all the way, and let my plane fall, then try to recover

thats what non-pacifistic guys like me are for

I don't know. That just sounds scary. Like stalling, lol.

Do you usually manage to recover?

THAT'S the word! Pacifist. I'm one of those most of the time, I'll only fight if someone really makes me angry.

sometimes i do, sometimes i don't. usually at higher altitudes i will. the outcome depends on the plane and how well i know the controls and feel of the plane

i'm NEVER a pacifist

my siblings are always getting on my case about shooting imaginary guns around the house XD

I guess you've got more altitude to try get out of it if you're up higher.

As part of this aviation course my school's doing, we're getting a few goes in the local uni's simulators. I'm so excited!

I used to shoot imaginary guns too. My best friends, boys, were very bad influences on me. My parents sent me to an all-girls' school to try and convert me.

Babysitting, what fun.

Sorry, I have dealt with a 2 year old in a foul mood once. *Thud* Nothing, I mean nothing would please her.

*wails*

FLT 17.820 -0.850
Seriously?! If it keeps going like this we're going to be back down at $16.24...

FMG 4.435 -0.065
SYD 2.740 -0.090
RRL 3.630 -0.070

Crud this.

Sounds like a blast.

Good luck, little kids can be so annoying sometimes! I find drawing something for them usually keeps them occupied enough to shut up.
