I've flown the Space Shuttle. I've logged over 200 aircraft carrier night-time traps in it. It exhibits good phugoid characteristics. I used to fly the Space Shuttle to Ethiopia on humanitarian missions. I was shuttle commander, pilot, and mission doctor at the same time! Z. |

Dudley Henriques wrote: Biggest; DC8 Fastest; F14A Slowest; Breezy :-) Trickiest; D18 Beech Most fun; P51D I gotta tell ya John; I was at an EAA flyin and was offered a flight in that thing. My wife took one look at it and REALLY didn't want me to do it. I couldn't resist it though and accepted the kind offer. Man, was THAT an experience!! By the time I rotated I was wondering just what the hell I had in mind when I decided to do it!! :-) But after I got used to sitting out in space on a deck chair with the wind blowing up my butt at pattern altitude, the rest was a "breeze" so to speak. I actually did some stalls. (standard procedure before landing a strange beast like that). They were "kinda cute" :-))) Dudley |

Is the Breezy an ultralight? Jose I'm not quite sure how it would be classified these days with all the reg changes going on. In those days it was experimental. It was however heavier than an ultralight. Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship for email; take out the trash |

"Jose" wrote pattern altitude, the rest was a "breeze" so to speak. Is the Breezy an ultralight? Jose No, but close to it, in ideals. Verrry open, as it is a truss frame with a wing, tail, engine, seat and wheels bolted to it. See http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...ges/breezy.php There is an ultralight version called lil' breezy. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

om... ... has piloted a 747? Just curious While we're at it, which is the biggest aircraft each of you have flown? Ramapriya No 747s... Biggest (and baddest...) I've flown is a North American T6 "Texan." Which reminds me, I've been meaning to ask:: Can I retroactively log a "Walter Mitty" aerobatic flight with an outfit called North American Top Gun as dual instruction? It was a Christmas gift from my wife about three years ago... Jay Beckman Chandler, AZ PP-ASEL |
