Can anyone advise as to what this post has to do with "water in the fuel"?

While up in the air, he asked if I had ever flown backwards. I said I hadn't, so he had me point the nose into the wind, pull the power back, and put out full flaps. We slowed to near zero, and then he had me pull a bit more power off. We flew backwards for a bit, probably only a few seconds, but it seemed longer. The stall horn bleeped a few times, but it sure impressed me that airspeed and ground speed are NOT the same thing. -- 73, David, kb0zke Rev. 2:10c _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
