Quick Jot

Hi Gang,

I had to share this quote. Those of you who know my dislike for rotor-wing will smirk appreciatively:

People still argue about how wings generate lift, and some will look at the upped surface of the wing and cite Bernoulli, and say the pressure differential is primary and some will look at the lower surface and cite Newton. In many ways these are observationally equivalent descriptions of what's happening.

The one constant is that helicopters don't actually fly at all. They're so ugly the earth repels them.

Both Cessna 68U and Cessna 20U are in for their 100-hour inspections this week. It was nice of them to synchronize and inconvenience everyone -- look for sporadic downtimes for each plane.

Word on the street is that Cessna 04H may be back at the end of this week or early next week.

Not much else to report for now. Fly Safe!
