*** Posted by run *** Hi Rapier If you suspect a problem with your oxygen system, you normally ''gangload your regulater'' which means you check its on, go 100% oxygen & set the regulater so you get a constant positive airflow. The positive airflow can hamper talking, but is nessecary in order to make sure cabinair is not entering the mask ...

*** Posted by run *** [---snip--- I had the pleasure of seeing 2 F-16's scream past at about 7000 ft followed by 2 Tornado's about 20 min's later. The Tornado's I could hear much earlier than the F-16's. It was a great site though! Regards Rapier] Hi Rapier How early you hear the plane is not so much a noise thing, more a speed thing. Maybe

*** Posted by Rapier *** I am well aware that you are talking about the SUDDEN appearence of the airnoise around the plane, it's quite common in all passanger planes! Please tell me why are you facinated by this phenomina? The DC-10 is an OK aircraft but can easily be thrown around by turbulence. The noise inside the aircraft can be caused ...

*** Posted by Kim Nielsen *** Check ''again,again'': I'm writing about the SUDDEN aperance of the airnoise around the plane (caused by the drag)! Kim [Put it this way, the bigger the object the more drag there is through air space. You dont need all this mathematical shit it's just the way it is. Regards Rapier]

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi, If anyone could help me out here much obliged. Does anyone know what the correct layout for each trigger, switch button does on the real F-16 stick and throttle please send them to me as soon as possible. Thanks Rapier

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hej Run, Is it true that pilot's have to know survival tactic's if they ever eject over enemy or unknown territory? I picked up this book from the shop's the other day written by an X SAS soldier and it's real interesting, you can learn alot in a bad situation. Rapier

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hi, If anybody can answer this I'd appreciate it. I was watching this program and I saw this pilot breathing irratically even though he had his oxygen mask on. He was'nt pulling any G's but he suffered some kind of Cabin Preassure problem that forced more air into him via tha mask. What the hell was happening to him ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hello, I a modern day Airliner were to change direction if it were going at a supersonic speed the wing's would snap off in a second. It is much easier to change altitude and direction in a fighter because they are built in a compact and have a very strong structure to deal with the stresses of G as you well know Run, ...

*** Posted by Rapier *** Hello Run, Of course the F-117 is a stealth aircraft, so aerodynamics suffer with this plane. Designing a supersonic stealth aircraft would not be practical at all because supersonic aircraft send out an excellent heat signature, so it would not make it a steathy plane at all. Very advanced material's would have to be ...
