Lidle and the Captain are talking about different types of airplanes, aren't they? Yes, apples glide worse than oranges. Now, we also could ask a Space Shuttle (which is a glider after reentering the atmosphere) pilot and get another rate of descent. 7000 ft -> 15-20 minutes glide in a Cessna Skyhawk doesn't sound unrealistic at all. If there's sufficient thermal lift it might even climb... Fact is: an airplane doesn't stall or fall out of the sky just because the engine goes out.

Although it doesn't appear this had anything to do with the crash, I find this statement odd. Are there any pilots who can confirm this fact? When I was involved in producing aviation English course materials, I wrote a question along the lines of a pilot of a private one-engine plane giving a mayday call for an engine failure asking for a vector to the nearest airport and one of our expert consultants, a pilot, basically said that if you're in a single engine plane and it fails, you fall out of the sky and can forget trying to reach an airport. engine failure - > no airspeed -> no lift - > plane stalls maybe you're thinking of a helicopter? That wouldn't make sense either. http://www.cybercom.net/~copters/pilot/autorotation.html

This conclusion is wrong. You can't win the world gliding championships in a Cessna Skyhawk but it won't fall out of the sky just because the engine goes out. By the way, Boeing 747s, 767s, etc. can glide too: http://www.askcaptainlim.com/questionsviaemail.htm

But the name might be worth it. Look at the number of page visits per day. I don't think google cares much for YouTube's video content at this point.

Are you talking about the CBS "Havana Jam I + II" stuff or the actual (rumored) live recording(s)? Attached snippet: May '79 Rolling Stone Mag.

Where did you read that? In Donald E. Knuth's bathroom?

Maybe because those Mosaic jokes are getting old? No, that can't be the reason.

Dan G the first to employ digital distribution in a BFT? Who would have thought! Cool.

Yes, it does. By the way... I'm surprised that you're not mentioned here.

Thanks for posting this. Check out Weird Emma (episode 1).
