Re: Gliding Heavies
An extended glide approach for a straight in surely checks out those dormant flying instincts/judgements.
But if you are in one of those heavy Deltas or a swing winger with the wings swept having the gliding angle little better than a brick you had better be somewhere close to overhead at a high key of about 15,000 ft to be able to make a go of it! The space shuttle is a good example.
