Does the term forward slip describe a slip? Yes.
Does the term side slip describe a slip? Yes.
Do both requre the same control inputs? Yes.
What next? Will we have pattern turns, cross country turns, sight seeing
turns, high altitude turns etc.
Taking your moronic Okie logic the other direction, why not simply just call
everything a maneuver, which would cover taxiing, takeoffs, landings, turns,
slips, stalls, lazy eights, ascents, descents, chandelles, spins,
immelmanns, barrel rolls, and dozens of other things.
I'm just curious as to how Okies like you rise to the crème de la dumb
level. Inbreeding and fetal alcohol syndrome only can account for so much.
Are there monuments to stupidity in every town? Do you have museums
dedicated to stupidity that you regularly attend? Are there churches where
stupidity is preached from the pulpit? Are there clubs and civic
organizations where stupidity is fostered to a fine art form?
