Default Maybe Im "New"

I was reading through my latest issue of Model Aviation...and I read something that had me ROLLING WITH LAUGHTER!!!

Maybe I had a few too many Champaign Cocktails for New Years Eve....but ....

In trying to find a better way to describe a crash....I read the term.....

"He Performed A Figuire "9".....

I got a visual of a "9" with the tail end in the ground.....and thought....


Now that's the funniest thing I ever read!


Anybody got another term to share????

Figuire "9"...Man that's a HOT one!!!!!!

Larry

I've seen a death spiral you could describe as a "figure @". I saw one the pilot almost recovered, I'd call it a "figure &". Of course theres the climb too soon, stall and dive, the "figure ^". An the not quite balanced plane do a "figure ~".

Sooner: Is that a new field in your area? I just live an hour and a half south of you. Maybe some weekend I can come up and meet you and fly with your club. Me and my dad and brother all three fly.

Looks like our boys aren't doing any good in FLA right now

Hey Sooner Ace....
Did you get your new Torks Newsletter.....

I haven't been able to make a meeting since my Job has been a real pain in the BUTT lately...

What the heck happened...Looks like there was a COUP D'ETAT.......

I HATE POLITICS...but SOMETHING is up!

Larry...the new Prez......Is he the guy that looks Like Tom Skeritt..has a 49% H9 Ultimate Bipe..and is about to put his first JET in the air?

If so..I've spoken to him many times..and he seems like a real good guy.

I never crash , I am always flying along straight and level, its just the ground comes up and hits my plane, sometimes from an angle as well....
