cruzin' at 410

well, i'm sure most guys would be up there if there is no wgt probs or adverse headwinds, in the -800 I frequently find myself at 400, not so often at 410... and kornholio,
Anyone who doesn't bump the descent speed up to M.76/320 in the maggot is a faggot.
hmmm if you are tryin to 'talk tough' cmon, at least push it to .78/320 (classic) pussy.

lvl chg, you are right - in a sense... it's come around from some 'fellas (and gals to i'm sure i'm all for equality) pushing it in a little further than they should've... which resulted in our 'blanket' limits, and the pushing of 500' stable stuff... but it does seem strange to me that we now have these 3 gates, one would be enough I reckon, 500 stable. However, management being management and voila, 250 blw 5 and 210 blw 3. You can be 250 at 3,(my understanding) however the chances of the QAR recording a hard alert and high as it would take only a slight bump to get it ticking away, so most guys wouldn't be too keen... Like it or not, it's here to stay.
out.
