Default Why airplanes fly

Trust me on this: Anthony is not mildly retarded. I'd guess his IQ is
in at least the mid 120s (I wouldn't know what side of 127 to bet on,


I know it's not a perfect analogy. MX is quite bright, in many ways.

But he *is* inappropriate, and he *is* interested in aviation. And, as long
as you ignore his occasional incorrect outbursts, he is harmless -- just
like our Tuesday visitor. (The only thing missing is the keeper -- *that*
is what MX really needs.)

I used to occasionally worry about what students and newbies might
incorrectly learn from Anthony, but then Bertie came along and proved that a
real pilot could be far worse -- so I stopped worrying...
