Not to discourage anyone from trying just have to disclose this. Saw a video the other day with General Yeager strapping into a fighter for a ride. The young pilot was giving him a preflight brief, pointed out the AOA indicator.His response was that is a useless instrument,if you don't know what your angle of attack is you don't need to be flying. Please don't think he or I am against instrumentation.The pilot is responsible for attitude even the attitude of the aircraft.Tommy W.
