Every landing is a controlled crash.

Try doing aerobatics in an Extra. I didn't know what G was until I did. Shocked

What do you mean? The immense G of the Tutor's acceleration is enough to get anyone excited... Wink

Sorry, my tongue was firmly in my cheek...

Getting confused with the Jaguar I think (and many thanks to whoever designed the G-suit...). Anyway, I knew about G when that was over... Wink

I feel obligated to mention this. You guys have inspired me to try gliding I've had an open invitation to go with a friend of my fathers for about 8 years now. I think ill take him up on it.

My only expierence in non motorized flying was at the age of 13 with my dad in a Piper SuperCub and it was unintentional I assure you. We did have safe but bumpy landing in front of a herd of very surprised cows.

Thankfully, my only experience was unmotorised flying in a powered aircraft was as I landed one day after an GH/aerobatic trip, and about 10 seconds down the runway the engine stopped. The moral of the story - turn the fuel pump on during practice PFL's... Slapped wrists all round (a mutual b****cking - I was flying with the boss at the time...)
