I would guess TC that it alludes to his aircraft registration
Indeed. I thought it was a bit
too obvious actually. Sometimes on this forum I sign as "n5296s/n9888s", that shouldn't be too hard to decode either. Google is very helpful.
When you see the ground rushing up at you - you will pull the collective!
That's what worries me! Pull it too soon and you will be just as dead! I know from landing the Pitts that getting the timing right is absolutely critical, as in, you have to be right to within a couple of feet to make a good landing and within ten feet to not break things - and coming down at 2500 ft/min that is not very long. (Power off - my normal landing technique - the Pitts comes down faster than the R44 in autorotation. Plus you can't see anything. I found autos quite tame...)
