Ah, the joy of being with
the birds. I suppose a large percentage of boys and young men dream of
becoming a pilot. When I discovered there was a United pilot in our
church congregation that used to teach flying at Purdue University and
Ohio State University who donated his time to instruct persons interested
in flying, I jumped at the chance. I haven't been active for a few years
now, but hope to get back to it some day.
I don't exactly have a gallery, but I do have a picture of a
Grumman goose
that's used in British Columbia in fire fighting operations, and
a picture of one of the two Martin Mars water bombers based at the same
site. I also have a derivation of the formula for
bank angle required for
a given turn rate at a given velocity, but you'll need some calculus background to
follow the derivation; the formula itself involves a trig formula, but you can
use the formula with a calculator even if you never saw a trig formula!
Here's a site that has words and music of
Air Force songs from WWII and
the Korean Conflict. Great site!
