I'm gonna do you this one time favour. Read my post carefully and take in
what I am saying...

It is not at all unusual for us to make up things about ourselves in order
to try and raise our own esteem in the eyes of others. This is particularily
common on the internet. I believe it is done to help bolster our own
insecurities, and in your case, quite needlessly.

Your discussions on things aviation displayed multiple inaccuracies,
unfamiliarity with several elements of aviation which extremely basic, and
qualifications which don't correspond to your stated level of flying.

Don't get me wrong, I am not completely immune from having done these sorts
of things in the past myself.

What I have learned, I will pass on to you, and maybe you will find this
useful.

In a face to face discussion where we either exaggerate or completely
fabricate our accomplishments in order to impress others, those others who
are listening to you are quite well aware of the fabrication I would say
probably 80% of the time. They will rarely call us on it, for a variety of
reasons including confrontation avoidance, don't want to spend time on it,
or they are just being polite and don't wish to embarass the storyteller any
further than we already have.
One symptom of this is the listener may tell you insincerely that they are
impressed. The tone of this usually rather weakly-made comment has a very
characteristic ! and ? and a tapering to it. They may glance away... then
change the topic of conversation, or they may be reluctant to ask you to
elaborate once they suspect the lie simply to be kind and stop the
storyteller from digging a deeper hole, just to be polite. Or,
alternatively, they may give you the "wowie-zowie" and tell a bit of a
whopper themselves as a funny way of saying they'll forgive yours,
especially if others are listening...

Now, you can stick to your story or recant it I don'treally care. I did say
I liked your ski videos so we'll leave it at that.

We have all tried to reason with him. It is not possible to have him
admit there is error in some of his theories and pronouncements.
As I spend a little of my time on aerodynamics his claim that lift is
only present when the altitude is changing tells me that he understands
nothing.
Most people think he plays this game for attention I am beginning to
believe he is mentally ill like the other loon. If you want the time
frame between posts and when he will disappear it seems like he is on a
cycle.

A funny story at the track was when a new driver crashed into a car on
the track when he was entering the track from pit lane. He claimed the
guy on the track did not move over for him. Unlike scratchy here the new
driver was shown the error of his ways and understands a simple rule
those on a race track on a flyer have the right of way over somebody
entering the track. It is pretty simple but cheesedip would never get
the point.
Based on this guys understanding of physics if he got 500 feet from the
ground in an airplane he would have hit the ground and we would laugh at
the moron who pulled a darwin. Instead of listening to some braggart who
can not get any aspect of a story right.

As you were poking in your earlier posts, I was wondering where you
were leading to, so I followed along, I was really hoping there maybe
a real gem come along... Here comes the real face?

That's quite true in your mundane world, so you're probably trapped in
that mentality as well. Ever thought about transcend that? Given that
you are a high level ski instructor, a 10k-hour pilot, a biochemical
specialist, and a chiropractor, (yup, very well educated,) you should
know that you cannot build your own esteem in the eyes of others, why
should I need to do that? unless, you were thinking like "them," then
your "gap" shows.

Your discussions on things aviation displayed multiple inaccuracies,
unfamiliarity with several elements of aviation which extremely basic, and
qualifications which don't correspond to your stated level of flying.


Maybe just your own prejudice? I did say I'm not current; in fact, I
stopped flying in '88 when my wife bought a house and I got layoff
from my programming job. I was CFII and float rated, 425 hr., and yes,
I can prove it, if anybody wants to put up money to see it. For what I
intended to do--the last bush pilot of America, (ha, ha,)--so most of
my flying, if not training for licenses or ratings, were emphasized on
bush flying/dirt-strip landing, low-level contour flying, as well as
mountain flying, etc. Don't think those flying would fit into your
stereo type of flying.

Don't get me wrong, I am not completely immune from having done these sorts
of things in the past myself.


So, are you good now? And you're telling me these for my own good so
to show that you know better? Or as you said, "bolster our own
insecurities, and in your case, quite needlessly"?

Too much thinking based on how are others look at you, ever thought
about look into yourself to see what you "truly" capable of? The way
of Taichi is to reduce your worldly mundane thoughts and become "one"
with what you do, others are not in the picture.

Now, you can stick to your story or recant it I don'treally care. I did say

I am disappointed, nevertheless, so be it.

Mountains don't turn, roads turn; if we walk on the same path, we'll

Look. maybe it's a language thing. FYI I am not a "high level" ski
instructor I am a Level 2 CSIA I just got my Level 2 this year. I am an
ordinary Chiro going on 32 years. I fly privately, I don't hold a whole
whack of ratings or type certificates, but I know a fair bit about aviation.

By the language you used, I found it hard to determine you were a licensed
pilot, even tho I wanted to. Maybe you could provide the registration no
that should be in your log book and we can go from there.

Merrill Field, Anchorage, Alaska.


That a/c is based in AK. Quick question..X-wind from rt on landing, how
would you set the controls in a tailwheel airplane?
What body parts are most active after touchdown?

If you can answer that interrogation, I'd believe you.

Have you noticed he does not answer questions, you are going to get a
gapper tirade or some comment like it was a lifetime ago.
