Very good Blues, your turn.

Tarek, glad you're feeling a little better. You've had a rough time. Get well soon.

Aerobatic manuevers are displayed graphically in a type of shorthand symbology. What is the name of the style, and after whom is it named?

After I told them that Icould not get there on my own they called a taxi for me and the driver helped from my appartment to the car and all the way to the Docs office. From that point I don't remember much, except that they run several test and started giving me several infusion. Then on of his assitants brought me to the nearby hospital where again they run several test (but I don't have a clue which ones...I was half asleep most of the time) and gave me further infusions over the whole night. Whatever was in there it helped pretty well, though I am still feeling kinda sick and pretty ko I can slowly start eating again and my father could pick me up this morning (or yesterdays morning, depending on your timezone). Yay for German healthcare.

Uhm about your question and to get back on topic, are it only US-fighters?

Terek it sounds like you have what 100.000 brits have. There is a bug doing the rounds and laying low lot of people for upto 10 days.

I hope you are up to date with your Krankenschein

Blues,

Great question and timely too. This gives us all a chance to note Mr. Aresti's passing in 2003.

I hope my answer is correct. I lifted this from an IAC page:

Jose Louis de Aresti Aguirre, widely known within the aerobatic community and member of the International Aerobatic Club (IAC)--most widely known for his work in developing the aerocryptographic system, or shorthand, for recording aerobatic maneuvers, more commonly known as the “Sistema Aresti” or Aresti System.

His aerobatic figure diagrams allowed internationally competing pilots to communicate, even when they did not speak the same language. The Aresti System is accepted worldwide as the system of drawing aerobatic figures.

Dead-on.

G'ahead.

"G'ahead"

Yeew from Joisie? OH Jeez.

Translation for our Brit cousins:
"Are you from Jersey? Oh my. How nice."

Blues,

Just got in. Gotta hit the rack. I hate keeping the Euro's waiting. I'll be back on in about 10 hours. Toss a good one out if you're still up to keep it going.

Thanks Bro.

Bill

Zzzzzzzzzz.......

Bluesman · 01-11-2008, 00:56 AM

You got it.

If an aircraft is reported missing or down, what term is used to number the human beings aboard, and why is that term used instead of the more obvious 'person'?

GAU-8 · 01-11-2008, 08:19 AM

Thanks Blues,

I know half of this one.

"Souls on board." S.O.B.

As for why, I know that some flights carry the deceased. I guess in the event of a recovery operation, they would want to know how many live passengers and crew were on the flight? I've been filing flight plans for 25 years. I should know this.

Absolutely correct. 'Souls' refer to remains as well as the living that boarded the aircraft prior to whatever unfortunate event has occurred to prompt an accounting of those recovered.

No, earlier still

The Hard Drive failed on my computer so I am using my daughters. Hope to be back to normal operations soon.

Damn Glyn. Pulling my hair out now! FAA did it in 1939 but I know that doesn`t count...Good luck with your `puter

The first rotary wing landing on a US ship occured on 23rd September 1931 when Lt AM Pride USN landed an XOP-1 Autogyro on the USS Langley. Ha! I bet everyone assumed 'rotary wing' to be a helicopter!

glyn · 01-13-2008, 15:56 PM

GAU-8, it's your question

GAU-8 · 01-13-2008, 22:25 PM

You are an allied fighter pilot working with the Pacific Air Command circa 1990's--Korean theater of operations. What do these underlined terms mean?

The balloon goes up.

Your gorilla just pushed from the anchor at angels 30. AWACS informs that the mission will go as fragged. As you approach the FEBA, your leader calls for chattermark.

Questions:

1. What is going on here?

2. What enemy actions made your leader call for chattermark?

**Ironduke** · 01-15-2008, 16:58 PM

I think that one's a bit too tough. It's been a couple days -- you should tell us the answer.
