"Le Chaud Lapin" opined that many pilots have an
incorrect understanding of the physics of lift.

Speaking from my own somewhat limited experience, all my instructors and
most pilots I have spoken to about the subject do, indeed, have an incorrect
understanding of the physics of lift.

At Oshkosh last year, one of the exhibitors had a program to simulate
airplane aerodynamics. I asked the two guys who were sitting there if either
of them was an aerodynamicist. One of them said, "I am," in a light
German-sounding accent. I said to him, "Newton or Bernoulli?" "What do you
mean?" "You know -- lift." "It is all Newton. Bernoulli has nothing to do
with it!" How can you argue with a German aerodynamicist?! g
