Default More getting gliders in front of the masses....


The sailplane makes a typical Yankee flown on landing! Can't you guys
do a fully held off landing?

And you base this statement on what, exactly?

This from a country that was building taildragger jet fighters
(Scimitar) and transports (Hastings) after WW2, when the US was flying
tricycle gear fighters (P-38, P-39), bombers (B-19, B-24/25/26 etc)
and transports (DC-4) before the war - I guess you had to be good at
fully held off landings if you were a brit!

Just kidding, of course ;^)
