Do the head in the cockpit stuff before flying through the pattern. Clow's "runway was 12 feet wide. Which is another story.<br /><br />Much safer and more fun was trying to get the right technique to 3 point a Piper Cub on some grass field in northern Illinois. Never got that right enough to make my instructor happy.<br /><br />When I get too old and decrepit to cycle I'm going back to flying.velobenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323777941712170231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359543817192302396.post-60197022508918333162010-01-22T17:01:27.107-05:002010-01-22T17:01:27.107-05:00I have, in fact, made such descents in Vermont, an...I have, in fact, made such descents in Vermont, and I have to say it beats the Corvette hands down. Or landing a Cessna at the old Meigs Field, which is as close as I've ever come to putting a jet on a carrier. Which, while, fun, isn't very close.Jef Malletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10813038406728297919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359543817192302396.post-17444993692285509072010-01-22T13:45:40.714-05:002010-01-22T13:45:40.714-05:00No jet jockey ever went down hill on rural New Eng...No jet jockey ever went down hill on rural New England roads at 49mph with no enclosure and just two wheels.velobenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323777941712170231noreply@blogger.com
