I am kind of interested in the way actual occurrence is fashioned to fit formula but I am more interested in the way things really work in the real world as opposed to the way things work in the artificial world of formula based text. I just cannot bring my self to believe what I read when it totally contradicts what I can see with my own eyes in the real world that I live in.

It may serve a pilot well to define drag as a force that opposes the motion of an aircraft through the air. But it does not serve me well at all because it only represents a fraction of what drag is about, but most of all its an inaccurate definition. When I read the faster the aircraft goes the more drag it produces I am aware of the fact that some aircraft have a completely opposite dynamic.

I would rather win an argument by citing real world occurrences than by citing popular opinion. I would advise anybody not to believe what they read about aerodynamics without applying it to what they can see and feel in the real world where they are a solid object being influenced by a relative airflow 24-7 from the day they started the process of respiration at the very least.

By the way I was up in your very beautiful part of N.C. you are from a week ago riding my sport-touring bike. I am from the boring flat lands of F.L.
