Hey, I found it: It's under the thread "John Travolta Sues His Home
Airport" circa August 10.

The person's exact words were "Camber does not produce lift" and he
quoted a NASA site that contradicted him. He also said
"Many pilots don't understand that angle of attack is everything.
That's why many of them get into trouble in unusual situations. "

I'll give you guys ONE guess who that person was, and you probably
don't need a hint, but he's undoubtedly the most accomplished Flight
Simulator pilot on the newsgroup.


Oh - I rarely read his posts, so that may be why I missed it.
