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. |

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. michael |

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. 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 liked your ski videos so we'll leave it at that. I am disappointed, nevertheless, so be it. Mountains don't turn, roads turn; if we walk on the same path, we'll meet again. IS |

Where were you flying it? 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. IS |
