Tell you what **Dud**, "ole buddy" I'll restore your

Wow. Just...wow.
I'm just trying to figure out how old this guy is.
You just don't normally see that out of an adult.
Even the more, um, mentally challenged kids, that I grew up with,
abandoned that type of game playing by the age of 13-14.

Well, if we're all sitting in the same room, **Dud** and
his private bertie would be sitting together drinking
their beer out of straws with raised pinkies.

Anyway, back to the 104 that Roger mentioned that flipped
over, (I have video of that from a "Planes of Fame" series
that was awesome, maybe we should get them to put that
series out on DVD, definitely excellent).

Why it yawed left, then flipped over right wasn't specified.
I *guessed* it was either a hard x-wind or brake failure.
I would expect a good pilot would brake as well as he
could, BUT, considering the narrow gear Johnson gave
the 104, if the pilot brakes on the left wheel, the a/c
might have actually lifted (rolled right) and that renders
that left wheel ineffective.
Once the angular momentum from the yaw moment
bites, the right wheel appeared to become a privot.

Maybe we could get that posted to you-tube, I can't
myself, but if anyone can that would be great for the
group.

If this was a chess game, we could name it "Tucker's gambit
