Science Olympiad

By
Friends,
Thanks for your help!!!! For those of you here for the first time I think you will agree this is a really neat event to participate in, My only complaint is that there wasn't Science Oly when I was in High School!

Results are
High School Wright Stuff:
1. Oak Ridge HS Tenn. 5,06.0
2. Chugial HS Alaska 4,41.4
3. Grand Haven HS Mich 4,32.6

Middle School Balloon Launch Glider
1. Lake Shore MS Mich 1,51.9
2. Chardon MS Ohio 1,50.0
3. Beardon MS TN 1,25.8

If you got a chance to examine the first place airplane in Wright Stuff, what a work of art! As close to perfection I have seen at this level of competition. Most impressive for our future leaders in America

Now down to business, I would like your inputs on things we could have done better, I'm Navy trained with a thick skin and I am more than happy for take your constructive criticisms as I know the spirit it is intended. Flame ON!

Once again Thanks for your help and I will come calling for your help next year. It will be the state championship most likely in April of 07

It was more leisurely and had more class. Certain elitist and anti-British people have no time for these period "rich types". People like these, the risk takers (especially with their own money) were the backbone of the UK. They flew from the first airline operations across the Channel in 1919.   If people had serious money in the 1930s and traveled internationally, they may well have flown on one of these large (130 foot wingspan) Handley Page bi-plane aircraft, which were the mainstay of British Imperial Airways at the time. They carried 26 passengers in first class only, in three d

LSO's and landing T Sparks

A long winded discussions on the role the LSO plays in landing on the carrier. After 900+ they have saved my bacon more than once. All the best, Tim The Lords of Landing "Right for lineup...don't go low...a little power...." At sea, the last word belongs to... by Peter Garrison The A-6E Intruder bomber thunders past the USS Abraham Lincoln's starboard side and rolls into a nearly vertical left bank. Condensation flickers above its swept wings like white fire; its airspeed bleeds rapidly from 300 knots to 150 under the drag of the five-G turn. In the cockpit, the inflatable G-suit snaps tightly around Lieutenant Brian Kasperbauer's legs. His eyes dart from the dancing blur of black instruments to the horizon beyond. Parallel to the aircraft carrier, Kasperbauer rolls level. Check speed, dirty up with gear and flaps, double-check tailhook down. Twice he lifts himself slightly from his se
