Post by Jeffrey BlossDo you all remember when Van's RV's were folding wings in flight?

Just the RV-3, correct?

IIRC licensed for experimental amateur build. Too risky for my liking.
Excellent Google there, Frankfurter.
LOL LOL LOL
Hello sock, I can't believe you're so sore from the times you threw down
a challenge in r.a.p. which ended with you showing how limited your own
understanding is. Sorry about that.
Do you remember you invented some navigation data and when you got
rumbled you then tried to invent a mountain and some imaginary
passengers. Heh!
Then there was the time you got gulled by a hoax video of someone who
survived being sucked into a jet engine even though I tried to explain
the facts to you.
Don't blame me if you go out of your way to look foolish.

Post by Jeffrey BlossHere's a little something for you to solve, Franklin
If you are looking at your AF/d and it says RWY xC-yL
(you know what x and y are <chuckle> VASI(V2L)--GA3 deg
TCH32' 90 deg up
Whatcha got there, Frankie? C'mon, whatcha got there?

Dearest socko, I've already asked to talk to the organ

arrange it for me next time.
Why do you believe there's no one else in the world apart
from you who can fly? When you next get a chance to go up
for spin, make sure the descent follows that VASI's 3 degree
glide but, with a bit of luck, your landing gear will be so
festooned with clinging stowaway socks that altogther their
dangling length exceeds 32 feet just as you clear the
threshold.
That will be a good way to get rid of a few. :)
You never told me what you are trying to hide from the SD
checks.
Rather than occupy yourself concocting basic questions, why
not read up on aircraft energy management so next time you
can impress me with your understanding. That's if you're not
called to single handedly save the troops in Afghanistan.

"Franklin," why don't explain and entertain us with your

How does "looking at a jet engine for 2 seconds" convince
one to believe this accident was a fake?
Franklin, the serviceman being sucked into the jet on-deck
was real, very, very real.

Hello sock. Why doesn't your organ grinder ask the questions

For me, it's too amazing that a guy working next to an
Intruder gets sucked into one of its intakes with such massive
force that it dragged him off the ground but afterwards he
doesn't have any crush damage from jamming between the bullet
cone and cowling and doesn't look like he been squeezed hard
up against the stator vanes.

Maybe he's supposed to have squeezed through the low bypass
compressor bleed channel to come out unscathed. Heh heh!
Let's have that 2 second look at what those J52s on an
Intruder really looks like ...

OK, so what passed through the engine to cause the rear flash
in the vid? If anything solid went through that turbofan
there'd likely be a blade-out which looks very different to
the brief flare out in the vid.
The vid shows our hero posing for a photo only hours afterwards.
No shock, no crushed shoulders, no broken ribs, no split skull,
no broken nose. Seemed to me the vid showed the mannequin had
a floppy thigh bone but the guy looks fine afterwards, no
bloodied clothing, no major abrasions. ... Just an arm sling
and a bandage for a head graze. Gimme a break. He would be
undergoing tests in ICU for the rest of the day and may be the
day after that as well.
A few hours afterwards he wouldn't be posing with his pals but
he'd be filling in incidence reports, the safety officer would
be going berserk and the carrier's senior officers would be
doing some interviewing.
The vid's date is Feb 20 1991 but the quality looks like it's
from the 1960s. Most vids from 1991 are in color. Try frame
advancing the spoof using this AVI version rather than an FLV:
