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! -c |

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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

ROFL! I don't think the stuff he's "having" is delivered by waitresses,
it's delivered by characters on the show "Cops". Jim "Jay Honeck" wrote in message ups.com... You've been there? We've all been there. Some of us remember it better than others, that's all.

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." -- Gene Seibel Hangar 131 - http://pad39a.com/gene/plane.html Because I fly, I envy no one. |

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. Matt |
