Is there an aeroplane that can stand still in mid-air ?
I used to think that SU - 30 could do it. Is that true ?
I found no evidence on a google web/groups search.


If you are flying an airplane at 60 kt IAS into a 60 kt wind you are not
moving
forwards or backwards.


I've seen a Tiger Moth do this for about a minute during an unofficial
display, so it's hardly high tech!

I've heard a tape of collected kakapo noises, and it's almost impossible to
believe that it all just comes from a bird, or indeed any kind of animal.
Pink Floyd studio out-takes perhaps, but not a parrot.
