In a group I frequent we are plagued with some-one who has begun
claiming that he is a 'naval aviator'. Excerpts from his posts as to his knowledge of the Principles of Flight and his (Claim1) of military service. In (Claim2) he backs away from an original 'pilot' claim and (Claim3) demonstrates that he is woefully ignorant of anything beyond google searches of kook sites The claims without spelling or grammatical corrections .................................................. .................................................. . David Morgan (MAMS) wrote: Al... has no one informed you that you can't fly a jumbo jet at max speed anywhere near the ground? There's a rather large lift vacuum underneath that would pull it immediately into the ground. Claim 1 It's not difficult at all to understand... but having been a Marine Aviator during Viet Nam and a pilot in more recent times, I have somehwat of a grip on the way an aircraft functions and a definite knowledge of the numbers and types of parts that sinplt do NOT disintegrate. Claim2 One didn't have to be a military 'pilot' to fly the back seat of an OV-10a Bronco on flare missions to be considered an 'aviator'. Never jump to conclusions... but since you looked, maybe you could also look up ownership of N-5848A and it's pilot's logs. Note: we did and he isn't the registered owner. No big shock there Claim3 the mere act of takeoff and achieving cruise altitude requires roughly 20% of whatever fuel load was placed on the aircraft, http://www.m-a-m-s.com/personal.htm web site where he has a photo of himself in a uniform with rifle. Is this uniform consistent with his claims ? Thanks for any help in this matter |
