They should have used real tie down straps (similar to ones used with car trailors but smaller). Thats what I've always used...

Re: Nature Won

Meant to say or build and fly experimentals. One of the most amazing planes I've seen was a corporate Lear Jet that was converted to an experimental aerobatic plane. One of my dad's best friends used to fly it.

Bobby Younkin's act in the Lear was incredible. I had the pleasure of seeing it a few years ago at Sun 'N Fun. Amazing what he could make that airplane do.

RIP :(

Yeah. Bobby was a great guy. Both he and Jimmy Franklin could pull off the most incredible stunts. Always loved seeing their acts. Lucky enough to see their Masters of Disaster act twice before Moose Jaw. Unfortunately Jim Leroy had a similar fate last July. Amazing pilots.

Yeah, pretty much. It measures your ability to learn the way the Air Force trains and flies. If you cant hack this course, then you wont make it thru UPT and vice versa, if you can make it thru here than you will survive UPT.

Good thing is that if you dont make it thru this course, then you are guaranteed another job in the Air Force. If you fail out of UPT, you might be booted from the Air Force all together because they are reducing in size.

Thats why its called a "screening" program. The IP's are not deliberately trying to fail you (they actually do everything they can to pass you), but they do want to make sure you are good enough to make it thru UPT.
