He's old now - maybe 90? He can't possibly still be flying,
so I can tell tales about him I heard from another pilot there.

Gerry's at an aerobatic contest. He's flying a single seat
Pitts with a 540. So he takes off, levels off at the surface,
pulls vertical at the end of the runway, does a half roll on
the vertical, and caps it with a gentle pull to inverted, and
flies away from the airport inverted.

Bunch of fucking 21st century babies and their hairy
"steep climbs" at Vx.

Try a Gerry departure, babies.

I thought his approach was wild. Straight in, ridiculously
high and 10,000 FPM sideslip descent.

True, the aeroplane weenies and pointing of fingers -- fuck me how can something like that carry on ad nauseam. It's a kindergarten over there. Sadly a bunch of grown men acting like spoiled kids. The club house discussion is classic. Moderation is vital to them over there but not for the reasons they think, it's all about the hits and adverts and banning people for the most ridiculous reasons. It's all about protecting the revenue flow. I got banned (one time -- haha) for using a copy protected cartoon. Banned, really, remover the pic if google says so but to ban someone, there had to be more behind it than just that.

Dealing with trolls and assholes is pretty simple. Spank them then ignore them. When they realise that they can't get a reaction they fade away. Pretty simple stuff but when you reduce it to a 5 year old level they win.

The AV gods seem to avoid posting here, I'm sure they lurk but maybe that means they will learn something :mrgreen:
