I thought Randy Haskin did a pretty good job explaining the subject...nuff said.

PS
Thanks for changing the subject Garbs, the courtship of the two "skimmers" was kinda revoltin'..hopefully they got a room. :lol: :lol:

Might as well keep it all in the family. But you really need to be careful with the complements...Randy has a hard enough time fitting through the doorway sometimes. :lol:

I think it has to be considered a bit suspect as it wasn't reported as such by Matt who has posted on AAFO since.
I believe the referenced aileron should be the elevator. I believe the A/C was based in Minden NV, not Calif.
CG issues in reference to Wake Turbulence might has some bearing.

I hope to make my first trip to Reno next year as my annual man-trip. I've already found many great "trip tips" here on WIX (reserve early, no earlier, and spend money ... go forth and do likewise), but don't worry - I'll be doing all I can to figure out how to get out to a pylon or whatever the cool kids do. Hopefully it's a case of getting informed (like through WIX) rather than "who you know", because I know NOTHING, I mean NObody (well, actually both). :shock: :lol:

Pls post when we know for sure there's going to be a '12. I'm excited about the link just above, but as Rich says maybe I should just back down a bit and wait and see.

Wade
