Check out the video - inverted flat spins are "competition maneuvers" in advanced aerobatic competitions. We all do them.

Yes, that's what killed Goose - but I think it's different in Jets. I've never done acro in a jet - so have no first hand knowledge.

Ok, this is disturbing. I just got this email from American Family Association regarding the results of if the election for the next President was held today, which candidate would you most likely vote for?

I didn't get a chance to vote, as the voting was already closed, but I hate seeing the results thus far:


Rudy Giuliani (R) - Former Mayor of New York City - 30,980 vote(s)
None of the above - 30,552 vote(s)
John McCain (R) - Senator from Arizona - 20,649 vote(s)
Bill Frist (R) - Senator from Tennessee - 15,887 vote(s)
John Cornyn (R) - Senator from Texas - 7,546 vote(s)
Hillary Clinton (D) - Senator from New York - 4,131 vote(s)
George Pataki (R) - Governor of New York - 1,612 vote(s)
Al Gore (D) - Former Presidential Candidate - 1,321 vote(s)
Joseph Lieberman (D) - Senator from Connecticut - 991 vote(s)
John Kerry (D) - Senator from Massachusetts - 858 vote(s)
Howard Dean (D) - Chairman, Democrat Party - 574 vote(s)

I would have voted for Giuliani.

Anyone else want to say who they would vote for?

I feel very brave because I will ride big rollercoasters.

You're in a whole different category of bravery, my dear.

The engine flamed out, and Maverick couldn't get it restarted with no airflow through it.

An F-14 Tomcat without power has all the flying capabilities of a rock.
