I thought it was those crazy people from Northern Massachusetts..
of course those Frenchman from Lewiston Me would fit too.. "Next time you cut through my yard... you go around!!" "Throw me down the stairs my coat, outside it is cold." BT "Cub Driver" wrote in message ... Is this Pennsylvania Dutch? ("Throw Momma down the stairs a hat!") Interesting. This used to be a New Hampshire calumny: "Throw Father down the stairs his shoes." Supposedly French-Canadian, in this case. (I've heard that all the Applachian hillbilly jokes are also current in Australia, except that the subjects are Tasmanians.) all the best -- Dan Ford email: see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |

We used to collect those, back when I was doing AI and "natural language parsing" research. Things that people tend to understand without difficulty, but would drive our best computer programs bonkers. Some classics that were always used to test parsing: The old man the boats. Time flies like an arrow. The've been working on the problem for 40 years, and still haven't found a solution. ----------------------------------------------- James M.

Gee, that kinda puts me on the spot. They pay me money for this stuff. I'm not sure I should be handing it out the back door before the issue even hits the streets
They aren't really secrets though. Pilot technique has a lot to do with shimmy. Properly overhauled nose gears start solid and get looser. If a bunch of pilots are flying a plane, almost no one will experience shimmy at first, then a few pilots, then more, then everyone. At some point it will go to the shop. It's how people fly that determines where in the cycle they experience shimmy. You can land gently on the mains and then still rotate nose down fast enough to put the strut seals at risk. Forgetting to trim in the pattern makes it hard to land at the proper airspeed and makes the plane rotate quickly onto the nosegear at the slightest relaxation of yoke pressure. Almost every pilot flying was trained in and transitioning from taildraggers when the 172 vintage aircraft were designed. Landing nose high was second nature. Please, no flames or responses to this quick summary unless you've read the article. I'm only going to discuss on the basis of my full presentation. I find "Aviation Safety" the best of the mags I read. No ads, solid and to the point stuff. No fluff. I enjoy "Flying" and "AOPA Pilot" as entertainment but A.S. is more interesting and makes me a better pilot. -- Roger Long Peter R. wrote in message ...

news:Zhvzb.2376$yf.300@fed1read01... A.S. ?? "Aviation Safety". As in, "I'm in danger of becoming a regular contributor to 'Aviation Safety'", which is what Roger wrote when he started this thread. |
