There's only one net acceleration vector, and its magnitude will exceed 1 G.

We've all been there. Some of us remember it better than others, that's
all.
The better we remember it, the more pleasant experiences such as you
describe
tend to be.

Certain activities are highly conducive to a type of meditative state that
enhances consciousness. This enhancement helps us to remember what heaven
is
like and to sense its proximity, which we find pleasant. Flying is among
these activities, and not just for pilots.


Just useless blather. No will suffice.

Inspired, I let my inhibitions go, and began giant swoops and gentle
push-overs, all in time to the orchestral crescendos of "One Six
Right". Soon, I found myself closing *my* eyes, and feeling


I like to do this on the freeway...

(I kid. I'd never fly on a freeway.)

And my daughter was "getting it"!


I've been watching the previews and wondering if there's some sort of
software that would allow you to have the clip going as your desktop
background image. DVD is on the way!

You're an idiot.

Good grief.


Where does one start?

They were barrel rolls.

Right. They weren't one G turns. Or was Mr. Honeck performing
aerobatics with his family?


Nah, nothing *that* exciting, I'm afraid.

You're right, of course, you really can't "swoop" without exceeding 1
G somewhere along the flight path. But, if you do it right, most of
the maneuver is very gentle, and the pushover at the top is quite
fun.

I guess I should have just said "gentle" steep turns, rather than
yanking and cranking.

ROFL! I don't think the stuff he's "having" is delivered by waitresses,
it's delivered by characters on the show "Cops".

When we landed, Becca -- vocally against the very notion of learning
to fly for so many years -- said "Dad, maybe I *will* learn to fly
some day..."

Even if she doesn't, she has had her mind stimulated in an extra
ordinary way. I remember my Becca coming to the realization that her
husband, along with most of the people she grew up with had "never
been anywhere."

You know, the kind that Bob Hoover would demonstrate whilst pouring a
glass of iced tea...



Those were called 'loops' as I recall.

And there's no way I can think of to pull up at the bottom of a loop
without exceeding one G.


I think they were called barrel rolls.
