Was this that movie where a miniaturized manned probe flies through my intestines? Because it felt like it. Makes more sense if it is.

I think you're thinking of the 1997 classic, Innerspace.

Why was a passenger in the command seat anyway?

She isn’t. It is one of those crazy Eurocopters with three seat across the front, the far right seat being for an extra customer. EC-130, I think.

They don't have that type of thing more regulated? I mean this is the U.S., not say a shoddy operation in a non-First World country.

That specific incident resulted in increased regulation and local bans on such tours.

The U-2 also has a string for ball control. I mean, if it works. 🤷‍♂️

Yep. Low tech, inexpensive, and reliable. Helps evaluate critical side slip on takeoff and landing, when visibility over the nose is reduced.

Good technical solutions need not be the latest Silicon Valley crypto AI hype.

She was just trying to deploy the LFAS. It's not like that was the rotor brake handle...

Ah...Debbie Gibson, still smokin at 53.

I don't have access, can I get it, or is it restricted?

Thanks

Who shelled Mexico during the war!

I'm sure she's long since gone by Deborah, but good pull from the 80's way back machine. I had no clue she was active in the entertainment scene after "Only in my Dreams"

I'm not a movie person, but have watched that on cable several times. It's very much a WTF moment.

It reeks of awesome

The Yaw string- arguably the most important instrument in a glider/sailplane.

You can train airspeed and altitude to a sound and sight picture. But yaw, and staying coordinated in a turn is a lot tougher.

I don't know why that would be, but try it now. I thought John made that section accessible to everyone one again. If you can't see it now, I'll move it to another section.
