During inverted flight, the angle of attack still works.
After all, you can make a locomotive fly, with enough power
and the right attitude (aerodynamically speaking). The
follow on to the questions asked in the previous posting, is why
did my flight instructor have me pull back on the stick to
hold the nose up, in steep turns? I took these things on faith
during training, but it would seem to me that whenever a turn
of more than 45 degrees was initiated, one would use the elevators
to turn, and feed in a little top rudder to hold the nose up.
Does this work? Are there planes that don't fall off much in
steep turns? Can you bank 90 degrees and make at least a partial
turn? In the movies, (unless they tilt the camera) those hot
fighters seem to fly forever on edge. Is that real? Thanks
for the info. Norm

Heard on the a/c pa system in the Navy: "All those having three,
turn one in. All those having two, draw one."

Note: From time to time, someone on the net alludes to a close
call in the air. Since there always seems to be something learned,
how about if you old hands relate "My Hairy Experience". Us low
timers would like to hear about it. N.
