Coming home from Houston Sunday...

Try 40C with roving rain showers.. talk about bumps and humidity..

Try Oshkosh today. 65 degrees, light winds, no humidity. Picture-perfect
day in the upper Midwest.

Our son is flying the Ercoupe up to OSH today... Once the fog along the
Mississippi lifts, he's wheels up and camping in Vintage until we follow him
up on Sunday...

He didn't say GEAR up, he said WHEELS up, idiot. Learn the Iggirish
language the way you supposed to speak her.

Wheels up means gear up, period.

I learned it as "departing the field".

Sorry!

That'd be "Airborne"

I can't count the times I've hear instructors say:

"I want to be be wheels-up by 1930..." To tell a student to be ready to
be ready to go.

Maybe it's regional, but I don't think so!

I guess every-one here uses language to mean what they want it to
mean.
Or what it meant at some time in the past
There are enough pillocks on the side line who don't understand the
evolution of animals let alone the evolution of language...
At first sight (to me) wheels up means gear retracted until I saw what
it was..

What it was was Jay distorting an aviation term to sound hip.


Bertie

Excuse me, sir, I've used it to refer to fixed gear aircraft departing a
runway for some 45 years and 5000 hours, taught it to a few hundred
students, and was taught it by MY instructors long before you ever became a
pilot methinks ... or perhaps while you were still in liquid form?
