TULSA, Okla. -- A single-engine plane piloted by Sen. Jim Inhofe spun
around
after landing at a Tulsa airport, authorities said Thursday.

Ground loops happen.

Of course...I've owned 3 Beech 18 tail draggers...

Cool. I've always wanted to fly one of those.
Learned to fly in a C-120, but I'm so rusty nowadays that my brother doesn't
let me handle his T-18 or his "Pitts" on the ground.



A taildragger is dynamically unstable because the center of mass is
behind the main gear -

Are you an aerodynamics engineer? ;-) Many pilots around the world are
"effiencient" in training by a professional.


B.S. Mechanical Engineering, M.S. Electronics and Computer Controlled
Systems.
My brother is the one with degrees in Aero engineering.


get it a little sideways and it wants to continue around all the way.
Perhaps it was the end of a long day and the pilot got a little behind
the aircraft, or..., or... or...

Or....where are you? heheeheeeee


Yea.
