How do you know when you are exactly overflying a specific spot on
the ground? It's it just a matter of knowing your particular
aircraft, or are there tricks that can help to determine this? I
know you can look off the tip of your wing to see if you're abeam
something (such as a runway), but how can you tell when you're right
over something? I presume there's no way to look straight down
from most aircraft, and it seems like the view over the nose is
often several miles away.


You roll inverted and look straight "up". ;)


LOL. I nominate this as the "best reply to Anthony"
for the week.


Do you think he's standging on his head with his little rudder pedals
balanced on his feet?
