"Some might even be journalists."
I don't want to alarm you D SQD, but I have a strong suspicion that you might be right.....
I don't suppose it has occurred to you that not only might some of these 'journalists' be sympathetic, but that they might actually have done a bit of flying?
FL - apologies if I misconstrued your earlier post - I'm just very sceptical about anything you read on here. Yes, it is usually possible to "sort the wheat from the Walts" (great phrase) but I read another thread recently where a similar topic was discussed. One poster related a tale about another site, where someone who purported to be an experienced 747 captain made regular and informative posts, which both educated and entertained. Then they made a fundamental error - and it turned out to be a 12-year kid! FWIW, I strongly suspect that several posters on this thread have never flown any type of aircraft, and it is quite possible that the reason why they have never flown any type of aircraft, is because they're not old enough!
