I recently received this amazing video of an F/A-18 Hornet
accidentally "shooting down" an A4 Skyhawk. However, I've received
two conflicting explanations of what's happening he

Flying sideways by
Corky Scott
We'd just gotten back from a trip yesterday and were out walking the
dogs when I heard the sound of a powerful engine at high output. It
kept on getting louder and louder and I began scanning to find out
what it was.
This is always hugely amusing to my wife, but she wanted to see too
when I saw...

Forward thrust Q by
Ramapriya
Hi again,
I have for a colleague a 30-yr old former Air Canada 737 pilot who
doesn't take too kindly to questions of my kind :( When I asked him
recently about how forward thrust happens, he said that the engine
blades simply turn the other direction. With nothing to back up my
hunch, I still...

Non Standard ATC Phraseology by
In Soo
Hi pilots, I am new to the group and wanted to see if you guys hear
Non-standard ATC phraseology around places where you fly.

downwind or final. If you...

"Clear Prop!" in Mandarin by
Darkstar
Any zhongwen speaking ppl over here?
How do you call out "Clear prop!" in Mandarin when you mean "Keep away
from the prop -- I'm starting the engine." Used as a standard phrase
when flying small planes (Cessna, YAK, etc). Don't ask me why I need
this. I do! It's a principle! :-)
