I my-self wake up every day and am very
thankful that I don't have to stick a needle in my arm or suck something up my nose to get that rush, I have many many other activity's like flying to get that feeling. My personal take on this is that I try to avoid adrenalin rushes while I'm flying. Adrenalin is usually predicated by the phrase, "Oh Sh*t!", which like I said, I try to avoid in an airplane. I do get a rush of sorts when I take off, but the rest is more a feeling of satisfaction. YMMV of course. -Trent PP-ASEL |

I take the post and use it exactly as I did here to make it a negative example for any student who happens along the path. By doing this, even if it is a troll, it serves a positive purpose, and posting with a positive purpose is the only reason why most pilots and instructors who want to see students get the right information post here to begin with. :-) So it's a win win situation. The students win, and hopefully the initial poster learns something, even if he doesn't say so in print. And who cares really if the initial poster admits he learns something in public. It's what he does in the privacy of his own cockpit that will determine if the message got across to him. If he was a troll, then the students reading both his post and the answers it generated should serve a very useful purpose.

:: Robert A "Bob" Hoover was a military and civilian pilot that did things with airplanes others said couldn't be done. Comparing Steven Lee Rhine to Bob Hoover is like comparing baby Bush to an articulate statesman such as FDR of Churchill. Totally non sequitur. |

The difference is that you used this as an example for others, while others have attempted to directly attempt to disuade the OP. I think the latter a losing proposition in this particular case. - Andrew |

But I don't blame those who have tried to set him straight. In matters of flight safety , I will always opt for even the slightest chance at setting someone straight on something as important as an issue like this. If it's a waste of time for the IP, at least you can bounce off him to get through to someone else who might be more receptive to common sense. It's been my experience through the years that taking the time to deal with issues like this one can pay off big time. After all, if you manage to save just one life by stopping long enough to shed a bit of light on the truth, it makes this whole Usenet thing worth while...at least for me anyway :-) But you're right. It tries my patience sometimes doing it! :-) Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Commercial Pilot; CFI; Retired dhenriquestrashatearthlinktrashdotnet (take out the trash :-) |

Larry , you may want to read back on some other postings when I was looking
for spin training a lot of people from this group told me to just go out and do it on my own. That was beyond my comfort level so I seek training in it and you all flame away be my guest flame away. You yourself already assume way to much. You assume that was done in my airplane or one of pearson's airplanes well your wrong. Look at the color of the airplane sure as hell is not blue and white so is not my airplane and I will not rent pearson's POS death traps. The maneuvers were done with a competent instructor in a very unpopulated area at high altitude. I fell more confident now that if I ever get in to spin "I know" I will know how to recover if I ever get in to wake turbulence or in to a tail stall and end up inverted or rolled I know that I can initiate the proper recovery that is needed to survive. That was my point!!! |
