Do all aircraft...

Naw, I guess I've had it now. Like I've said earlier, flying has always
been a very great curiosity.

The varying degrees of irritation showed by a few (I've made a few
great friends amongst the ones here too, btw) at my questions has led
to things far more serious and ludicrous. I've been told that the FBI
has been alerted and I'll likely be under surveillance!! The FBI thing
is no intimidation to me since I've nothing to hide, but that's besides
the point.

All you guys had to do was completely ignore a few Qs of mine and I'd
have gone, which I will now anyways.

Thanks for your time thus far.

Cheers,

Ramapriya

I offered you a free flight lesson. Why are you getting upset over that??

Hey Ramapriya,
I've never responded to your posts, but maybe this will help. Go
to the site: groups.google.com, and type in "rec.aviation.student" or
"rec.aviation.piloting". Use the "Search This Group" feature and just
put in a few keywords, examples: "landing crosswinds", or "autopilot",
etc... This is what I did for a *long* time before I started posting.
There are over 10 years of posts on these groups (probably more like
15-20 years) and people have discussed the basics a great many times.
If you do a general google search for aviation topics, there are
tons of sites. Instead of plugging my own site, I'll refer you to the
absolutely *wonderful* site by Gene Whitt:
http://www.whittsflying.com/. He discusses soo many topics you could
(and I did!) spend weeks just reading & thinking about his
stories/lessons/advice.
All this said, I think it's a general convention to use the most
relevant newsgroup for posts. rec.aviation.student is great, and I
recommend you read it daily - that's what I did for a month or two
before I took my first flight lesson. It is also a more appropriate
group to ask very basic questions about aircraft, aviation, etc. I've
found that rec.aviation.piloting is kind of the "next step up" in terms
of knowledge/advice. There is more discussion of advanced topics here
(IFR, long XCs, PIREPs, etc).
Good luck - and I really do recommend that you go try a discovery
flight somewhere. It's only $50-$100 (in the US at least) and really
worth it.
Blue Skies,
Noah

Ramapriya,

You've got to be kidding! Right from "Land of the Free" to "Land of the
Paranoid". Very sad!

As you know, this is Usenet, which presents a wild mix of, well,
characters. What you describe is hideous, though.
