Well, I have to say it was very interesting in Cinci this past weekend. Saturday turned out to be a bust until it was suggested we go to the Air Force museum in Dayton. Wonderful! I haven't been there since 1969. We were like kids in a candy store. Sunday was as others have said very challengi

The good news is this: if you make a big enough argument in the MythBusters forums, they'll re-visit the myth at a later date! There is already a good bit of chatter about it already: http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/9401967776 I think there is enough potential for disaster tha

Nice write up Ben! It was great meeting you ( minus the mid air! ). I will post a Zlog of that flight on my blog later on today, when I get home. The mid air cost me about 80ft during the 2 or 3 spins. That was cool to see on the logs. The plane held up after the repair. At times I question
