Hey Tailspin, Just a simple question. When you go down, does yer OAT’s go up or down????
As far as first on types go, my vote goes to Uncle Frank's’ lightweight blade first model. Tim tucker wasn’t it? No simulators or computer modelling there, Uncle Frank never owned a computer until recently they reckon, Just a slide rule and the back of a second hand envelope.
Somewhere recently someone was talking about exceedances, and then I saw a comment about power recovery in a S92.
Struth.
That reminded me of a cartoon that I vividly remember from my pre teens years. It featured Yogi Bear who had gotten mixed up in a knuckle-up with a real - big - bad - bear. Yogi got a smack in the mouth and the next picture showed Yogi with a real dumb surprised look on his dial, spitting out a stream of molars. Very funny I thought.
I could see the S92 driver just the same, dumb surprised look on dial, all the gears and turbine blades in a stream out the back, going west.
