been a long time since my flight training days AND my last flight... so bear with me here: Low airspeed - high pitch - buffeting - stall warning - poor flight control response - pretty sure there's a couple more but hey, I'm old. :laughing It's actually pretty easy to recognize... the only surprise being if you're not aware that it can occur at any airspeed... IOW... your cruising along atby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
hit the field running, so to speak. Seems to me they take forever to warm up.... both O and D.... although I admit that's at least partially due to my anxiety. 4th Qtr comebacks are thrilling, cannot deny that.... but it also lowers your lifespan some 20-30 years. Your a Doc, you should have known that.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but the fact is last year gave us more than enough nail-biters. Should be more wins by big margins, as RFL desires. While I agree with his list of things that need improvement it's the D giving up too many 3rd and longs that bother me the most. I can remember a time when I could be somewhat relaxed on when our D had to stop a 3rd and long but that hasn't been the case now for so long thatby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
40º on a Cessna 172.... which I believe is the same for nearly every single engine. No slats or speed brakes, no need - although I guess maybe on some of the newer planes. Yes to trim.... every single engine I ever flew and I think on all of them. Most instructors I have known say trim is the least used by beginner pilots... which is a little odd because without using trim on long flights youby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I think it was you that mentioned sometime back about the hilarity and frustration of open auditions for band members? Someone should make a documentary about that... buy a small and fake ad for a band audition and then film the auditions.... I think it would rival "Spinal Tap" for hilarity. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
with some of the small planes and in the right conditions. I mentioned before that the first somewhat large airport I landed at was Monterey... I was so anxious about making that first taxiway I was nearly stopped before I had cross the runway numbers. I had to actually go full throttle and take off and land again to GET to the taxiway. :laughing I've made landing in headwinds where I reallby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

It just required lowering the nose... the only truly scary thing about it was how fast the stall was developing... I had to be VERY quick. I went from no stall warning to wing buffering in maybe 2 seconds. Actually I believe I noticed the wings losing lift before I noticed the stall warning buzzer. Won't repeat my plane crash story but just mention that as "co-pilot" in that crashby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
As for The Hidden Fortress... like I said, I'm not recommending it... even though I think it's great. Japanese culture, as you know, is VERY different than ours... just a guess but I don't think their story telling plays that well here in the USA... and also, like I said, I think you need some interest in film making itself to fully appreciate it. Mistakes in movies... that comes up often ifby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Think I posted that I watched a Kurosawa film, (The Hidden Fortress), a couple of nights ago? Anyway... loved it, but it's appeal is probably mostly for those of us who like 'film making' as much as the story of the film itself. Not recommending the movie... my point: After the film I watched a few youtube videos where famous directors discussed Kurosawa, the Japanese film maker, and his conby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
If you're wondering how I placed myself in that predicament - I had taken off from Napa in the strongest cross winds I had ever flown in... actually got a stall warning on takeoff.... so anxiety had set in immediately... then on top of that - A 747 on approach to SF flew right over me which, as I'm sure you know, is BAD for small planes... wingtip vortices!

You're talking about the original, I hope? Yeah.. Jaws in 3D would be outstanding.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I'd need one of those relief bags pilots use. Which brings up a short anecdote, (of course)... My first long cross country flight while training for my pilots license I had to make an emergency pee landing. I was headed home from Napa, Calif. and I knew I wasn't going to make it. First thing I did, obviously, was look around for anything I could pee in.... even though I knew there wasn't aby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I bought it when it first became available because some members of my family LOVED the first one and I wanted to invite them over for a fun evening of snacks and beverages and a good movie. So it was a long wait having stayed in the theaters for a LONG time..... long for these days that is.

I most certainly do... but I think it's more than that, a lot more. Not sure that it was 'just' attacking our ILB’s and our soft middle pass D. Seems to me they were able to attack anywhere they wanted with success. And it was FAR from just their O... their D did their share if not more. But as I said above, and RAMbler added... Ram's are a better team... they just have to believe it...by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
but at the time I didn't pay attention to it being Wulingyuan. Something similar just happened to me last night. I was watching an old Kurosawa film, "The Hidden Fortress", and as usual I researched the movie, (various sources)... and I discovered that this movie was in large part an inspiration for "Star Wars".... most notably the C3PO and R2D2 characters. Love stuby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
the Niners in general... is mental. Shanny ain't better than McVay... but he may very well be in McVay's head. Same for the team.. Niners are NOT better than the Rams... but I think they ARE in the Ram's heads AND 100% confident when facing the Rams. That's gotta change... the NFC championship was the very BEST step to take in that direction... but ya gotta follow-up. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
If not... they have wallpaper screensaver photos from around the world. One of them is Wulingyuan National Park in China. Before I saw Wulingyuan on Apple TV I had never heard of the place... and it's so amazingly different that it looks like something not of this world. What I'm getting at is: With places like that in the world... and there are many... it's not at ALL hard to believe thatby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
My son and daughter-in-law both work for an education agency that in turn works for the military... so for the most part they are among American citizens the vast majority of the time.

And their closest friends.... who also work in the education field... aren't froby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Seems apparent to me the drop off from #1 to #2 is drastic indeed... I think we all agree on that? Just not sure the Ram's will see the loss of a non-QB on the final 53 as worth keeping 2 sub-#2's.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Debatably the greatest victory, not counting SB wins, in Ram's history... for me, actually, it WAS the greatest game in Ram's history. BUT... and it's one big BUT... As far as the current rivalry it did little, IMHO, to overcome the dominance SF AND JG had and may very well STILL have over the Rams... at least as far as success against SF in the coming season.

truly 'unknown' tribes. And yes... very possible some headhunters and cannibals still exist there. Probably the most famous of the un-contacted tribes are the Sentinlese, living on North Sentinel Island. They will still kill you if you try to come onto the island.
