3. I did that's cool!

I can't believe how smooth it was, I usually end up killing my airplane if I try stuff like that!

I tried it in a 747 and 200knots of wind, I did it but didnt press the record command.

I need to try again, that was pretty cool.

7. Yeah, I tend to decapitate people for four or five miles on approach. Low and slow
doesn't begin to describe lmy landings.

2. Now that's pretty fucking awesome!
At first when I read the title, I thought it was like a 3d model plane!

That's pretty cool!

6. I once got a C-152 to fly backwards.
Flaps down, MCA, high wind. It was pretty weird.

10. Did the same in a Cub
but of course, no flaps. Big time fun, though.

8. Wouldn't that be a pisser if someone really experienced this
and then ran out of gas and crashed on a house?

Yikes. Needs more power! *insert Tim Allen grunting*
