It's that time of year again.

Don't have a sim handy, Capt. Doug?
That's my favorite place to kill myself.


Trim trivia?

The Blue Angles fly those amazing routines with slight nose DOWN trim.
Why?


Are you kidding? He did all that in the Sim.

I meant to try the trim augmented loop...

I've died in the sim only once, maybe. We hit dirt in level flight and under
control, but with a 1500 fpm sink rate. It may have been survivable. I
figured out what the problem was but I took too long. If we were in a B-737
sim, I'd have instinctively de-powered the rudder hydraulics. We were in a
DC-9 sim.

And then there was that time I was backing up a Metroliner with reverse
thrust, and fell off the aircraft carrier. Fortunately, I can simulate
swimming.
