Not if you haven’t seen the~12 episodes of the series. Otherwise, a lot of aspects of the movie will confuse you. Firefly has the best quote about flying ever. I have it on a poster. “You can know all the math in the ‘verse but take a boat in the air that you don’t love? She’ll shake you off...

The other caption I've seen related to this kind of cartoon is, "So we're agreed? Cause of the accident was a malfunction in one or more tiny reindeer....." Ron Wanttaja

Based on my homebuilt accident database, it's a bit less than 50%. 17 out of 39 accidents, over a ~22-year period. Ron Wanttaja

Actually, if anything, the P-63 should have *better* forward visibility than a typical WWII fighter, as the engine is behind the pilot and thus doesn't block the view. However, visibility is affected by other factors as well, such as the size and positioning of the windows. Ron Wanttaja

"Oh, yeah. 'Oooh,' 'ahhh,' that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming...." Everybody loves the idea of government getting out of THEIR business....but there are protections they want, and don't seem to realize they'll go away as well. I am in favor of the US...

No we don't! No we don't! You're just mean! :) Ron Wanttaja

Thanks! I scrolled up to look at it, and it wasn't there. Found it when I looked at another thread. Realized that ignoring my OWN thread probably wasn't an option.... :-) Ron Wanttaja

If convenient...no big thing. It's handy to suppress threads that go off the rails and one isn't interested in the subject anymore. I'm involved in enough forums that keeping track of which have a valid thread going on a topic and which don't it a little time-consuming. Ron Wanttaja

I see there's a "Watch Thread" button...but not an "Ignore Thread" one. Or am I just missing it? Ron Wanttaja

Depends on the nature of the failure. Probably, what happened when it failed is that the horizontal stabilizer went to the maximum travel. Try the loss of control exercise with the instructor holding the yoke full forward instead of in a level flight position. Trim, rudder, and throttle...

I do a full power run up during the yearly condition inspection, and monitor the RPM rise on every takeoff. I should be able to tell if it isn’t turning up normally. At my home field, I’ve got plenty of room for an abort. For that matter, there are few runways around here so short I couldn’t...

Looks good. I do like the bigger version with the prop, too, but the prop would probably make the smaller versions overly cluttered. Ron Wanttaja

I like the white lines on the dark background, but I'd use dark green (if available in favicon) to go with the "Green Board" theme. Offhand, I think I'd heavy up the lines, too. Favicons are often presented in small size. Ron Wanttaja

As long as we're registering graphics issues, allow me to point out that the favicon for the site is less than impressive. A few light gray lines don't really have high contrast with most backgrounds. Needs, at least, a background box. Ron Wanttaja

I dunno. Some of the footage looks like it'd been done with a good simulator. The shadows around the rivets, especially. It looks to me like it's mixed media, some simulator scenes mixed with real world. Or it could just be artifacts due to low bandwidth. Then theres' the whole political...

Mount Rainier at Twelve O'Clock... Break right! Ron Wanttaja

Looks like a Christmas Bullet designed by someone who actually owned a French curve. Ron Wanttaja
