Gee, I better start ground school again.

I always thought lift demons were actually pushing the Earth from
underneath the airplanes when you pointed the empennage downward.
(Although it might be still the case here in Canada. We are a weird
bunch up here, anyways...)


Hesitation point rolls are a lot of fun for a pilot watching lift
demons. It's an absolute riot to watch them scramble off the wings and
onto the fuselage then back again as the roll progresses. The most I've
ever been able to disturb them this way was 16.
Australian lift demons can't seem to figure out which side of the wing
to climb onto when they're here in the states, but they get even when
ours opt for an outback vacation on their time shares.
