Badwater Bill.... by
John Ammeter
Oyster just sent me this URL... it's a link to several pics of BWB,
about 4 meg's worth.
They show the Badwater Bill side of William Grant Phillips... his love
for kids, airplanes, a nice looking butt, and how Billy could make any
event or happening even better simply by being there... Bill...

What about this Red Bull air racing, does anyone like it? by
Sliker[_3_]
I've watched it, but just can't seem to get interested in it. I'm I
alone, or is it mainly targeted for the non-pilot types?
I enjoy the races at Reno, but the Red Bull thing just seems boring.
I'm surprised they still do it.

Hi guys,
I'm doing good. They DID do the procedure. The pain was an artifact
OF the procedure. I should of been FORCED to take the painkillers

Alan Baker
It has been put forward that for an aircraft to be in trimmed out
condition with all forces in balance, the thrust line must be pointed at
the drag line.
So let's do a thought experiment...
....wait.
We don't need to do a thought experiment.

auto fuel issues by
rich[_2_]
right now, avgas is running $2 more a gallon than premium car gas. And
from what I've read, premium auto gas doesn't contain ethonol. My
homebuilt has a 160 lycoming, which is supposed to be approved for
premium auto fuel. The only drawback I can think of is the stability
of auto gas sitting in...
