Why should they remain unmarried ? (OK, come on, you do have a lot of good arguments ...... ) Houdoe, Derk

Lot of truth in this post !!!!!! Ok, lots of people may not like monarchies, but if you consider the alternatives....... In our country there are anti-monarchy groups too, but most of them agree that Queen Beatrix would be damn good president... Houdoe, Derk Derk

Fully agreed ! Houdoe, Derk

Edit: damage between E 7.000,- and E 8.000,= , meaning that basically it's a total loss. Strange as it was not a big bang at all: skidded against a tree at such a low speed that the airbags didný even activate...... and it was a VOLVO, having the reputation of being very sturdy.......... Sad thing, liked it very much, can only afford a much smaller car at the moment

Bad day for me too: wrecked my car yesterday in the fresh snow. Not as expensive as the Flankers, but just the same..... Houdoe Derk

Bye Varkies, thanks for a great time and many fantastic encounters, Hou doe, Derk

Great answer and very instructive !!!. Wonder about one thing: in the years we operated the NF 5 in the KLu, there were wonderful demo's flown all over Europe during the season (with special paint jobs and smokewinders) where the empty central pylon tank was always used generating lift during the long and spectacular knife edge passes that were part of the program. It must have added quite a bit to the available lift.and thus may have reduced the sideways AoA and probably the necessary amount of rudder. Have you got any idea if increased rudder authority was used ? In any case it was always stated that the NF5 was very well suited to knife edge flying. What I do know is that it posed considerable strains on the airframe and the demo plane was changed every year or so for that reason....... Hou doe, Derk
