Both Doris Day and Lauren Holly did that quite well!

What was the L. Bridges line..."It is a bad day to give up glue
sniffing!"

both those were just well done...I was sort of amazed that I laughed
as hard at the second one as I did on the first one...

"You can tell me, I am a Doctor"

What can you make of this?

The Sperry series autopilots on the 7-deuce had a largish knob in the center
of the autopilot control panel on the pedestal to force the aircraft into a
coordinated turn. The knob was about the diameter of a beer can and about a
cigarette pack high. THey were indented about the center arrow so that your
had fit onto the knob nicely.

The flight director (Collins FD-108/109 series) simply showed the result of
the autopilot input, not a control for it.

I recall seeing, long ago, a sort of large knob on the pedestal of a jet (I
can't remember which kind) that, when turned, put the aircraft into a
coordinated turn ...

That sounds like it! Thanks. Except I don't know what a 7-deuce is.

You're an idiot.

Send me $500 and I'll tell you all about it.

Do you have any reason for reading this newsgroup other than to
make repeated juvenile comments about mxsmanic? ie do you fly
yourself? are you an interested wannabe? , do you have anything to
contribute aviation wise? If the answer to the last 3 questions is
no, would you **** off if we sent you $500?

BTW, you must be an Aussie!

BTW you are a jerk. Yes I am an Australian and proud of it , but a
little less proud knowing you probably are an Australian also. Does
it occur to you that your stalking behaviour ( I think thats a valid
description for someone whoes only intent is to reply to one single
poster) is obviously water off a ducks back to mxs.. he clearly sees
you as an intellectual inferior not even worthy of acknowledgement
that you exist. I'll be sharing that sentiment after this post. And
BTW I dont believe for 1 minute you are a pilot.

Believe what you like arsehole.

BTW, Aussie, moi?

Bwahwhahwhahwhahwhhahw!

But I spotted yu as one right away!

of course you don't fjukktard. You don't even know what an autopilot or
a co-ordinated turn is.
