My first aerobatic instructor told me....
"Don't shine your ass, it'll kill ya!"
That's what I think when I'm ready to do something stupid.
Great thread.
I am reading in an attempt to overcome my fear of flying.
I rountinely fly a 2 propreller regional plane, a Beechcraft I think, and find it be scary.
Maybe you all can help answer a question from a recent flight?
We were approaching the landing. Maybe about 15 minutes out. Clear skies, no turbulence. Out of nowhere, we make a sudden, sharp dive. The plane makes an alarm like noise when the proprellers start up. Well, it made that noise in the air during the dive. Felt like a five minute dive, but was probably only a few seconds. Rest of the flight was routine.
Any ideas on what it was? I think someone said the pilot told her it was wake or wash from a big jet.
Is there an aviation section I can post this in? Thanks.
