After all the years of reading this stuff and seeing wind-
tunnel demos and graphs and all such, I know there's an awful lot of
information out there on the generation of lift. Most of it is
available on the 'net. The strangest thing is the newbie who starts to
argue with his textbooks, very publicly (as on a newsgroup) without
Googling it for himself first. He knows better, he's sure.

What's strange is CFI'S (two of them) who did not know how to explain
VOR to an electrial engineer (me), who, after reading the discription
of how it works, could probably make after reading the technical
specs.

What's strange is one of the recognized leaders in flight training
materials using words like "energy" when they mean "power". I might
be a newbie to flying, but I'm not a newbie to physics.
