Cobra maneuver in a su-31 by
Gordoux
Hi,
In the 'Motegi Grand Prix' video at http://www.fulldeflection.com ,
one of the pilots performs a maneuver which looks like a 'Cobra'.
Should it be called the cobra, or something else ??
I think the pilot is Svetlana Kapanina in her Sukhoi.

Sonic boom over Washington? by
Charles Packer
A big boom over Washington D.C.around 9:30-10:00PM EDT
tonight (Friday, June 20) must have been the sonic variety.
Sonic booms over Washington are rare -- like never -- hence
worth remarking on, hence this posting.

Use of FLaps in emergency situations by
Tman
Hi, I've never been in these emergency situations, but have had a few
scenarios where it has come close enough to get me thinking what would I
do if the scenario was a touch worse (and, well, of course, how to avoid
getting that close in the first place). One thing I'd like opinions on
is the...

LAHSO Procedures by
RandyL[_2_]
I have a question that has come up in another newsgroup, that I have
always wondered about. When I received my flight training, my instructor
told me not to accept any Land And Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
instructions from ATC until I had received training in those procedures -
which I never...

Congested Area? by
Dallas
What's your opinion, is this a congested area or not?
http://tinyurl.com/3okuon
My take is that this is an "other than congested area", but a recent
article in AOPA magazine discussing an FAA ruling gives congested area a
pretty broad definition.
I've been assuming "congested area" = pretty much...

Conventional v tricycle gear by
[email protected]
Other than the 'holier than thou' aspects of taildraggers and their
pilots, what are their real advantages? Has it to do with prop
clearance on unimproved fields, or fatter mains being better in that
same environment? Does anyone know if, with the same level of
experience pilots, they have a better...

Letting it lapse by
Wizard of Draws[_5_]
I think I've come to the conclusion that I will let my IFR rating lapse. As
it stands, I seem to be flying mostly to keep the rating current, rather
than flying for the enjoyment. I don't really go anywhere, the wife won't
fly with me, and the skyrocketing cost is making me look hard at the...
