Your own air force is something to behold. You will love the YAK though. The Viper is a blast, but there is a profile to fly and training squares that have to be met on evry sortie flown. Even on a cross country, training squares have to be filled. That can take away some of the fun (just a little of it). The YAK is just care free flying. Granted you're fuel limited and it is not going upstairs at >10K/min with a blower lit pulling 4 G's on TO. That is a kick in the ass, but I still love the YAK also.

The levees breaking and the holes getting larger are great symbology to what has happened and continues to happen to the principals that this country were founded on and made it great. Pretty soon people are going to start to blame DUATS for them flying into bad weather....but, maybe not, at least it seems pilots are one of the last bastions of self reliance in this country. I do fear where this once great land will be 50 years from now........ And this does relate to flying...we all need to be proactive in defense of, and an advocate for, GA and warbird aviation. Supporting organizations like the RPA, EAA, AOPA, the CJAA, etc. are the least we can do...

If we do not clean up the way we handle the welfare state, the whole democracy will crumble! Then GA will be everybody running to get away from the tranny, but there will be no place to run! Thomas Jefferson was right! "We have created a good government if it does not try to do to much for it's people." Well we have seen up close and personal (for me that is and I'm sure others too) just what that welfare state unleased on the rest of the law abiding population. Believe me (or go to your local ER and/or volunteer to ride with your local police/ sherrif's department) it is in your community just waiting for a breakdown in the system to be unleased with full fury. Yes, I do mean that just throwing money at the problem is not the answer! A social reform is needed. No, has to take place! If it takes forcing them (all lower economic races) off their buts and into the work place. It is going to have to happen. If you get a government check, you do something to earn it. If it means enrolling them in adult education classes, vocational training, social skills classes along with health and hygiene training, so that their answer to a problem is not to yell, scream and break things. To get the chech, they have to be present and do the time. There is plenty of work to do in this great nation and around the world for that matter to keep our entire gheto population productive. I know, it'll never happen between the ACLU, Green Peace and all the other tree huggers blocking any semblance of that degree of social reform! It is entirely because of the Roosevelt, Truman,Kennedy, and Johnson plan for the Great Society. Well we now see the results of that 4 decade old Great Society experiment. A lower socio-economic class that in times of emergency expects the government to come pull them out. They have not learned or ever for that matter been taught how to problem solve and do for them selves. Some parts of that population are so FUBAR that nothing can ever improve their state. All they expect is a "gemme" and it is their right to that "gemme" because they were born into that environment. After all, God said it in the old testament "Idle hands are the devil's work shop." We are seeing the product of those idle hands...shooting, looting, rapeing, and killing their inocent fellow man in an emergency when the rest of decent civilized Americans and the world are pulling togather to try to bring aid to them. There is alot of blame to go around for this social fiasco. We just need to, as grass roots civilians, work togather to fix this broken societal wheel before it rolls back crushes each of us. This fiasco has and will affect each an everyone of our lives for the next few months and for years to come. Hey, look at the cost of AV GAS now! Glad I own one of those economical YAKs and not an L-39. I really would be whinning. I'm done preaching. Off list I will send any of you a news article that was forwarded to me for a friend. I tracked down the author, was a bit liberal to start but has from what he wrote has awaked and is smelling the Coffee!

Now it has more HP to put energy back relative to a stock CJ6A but not relative to an M14-powered CJ6A. It isn't clear that the Yak-52 is an advantage over a stock CJ6A but it is pretty clear that the M14-powered CJ6A has an energy advantage over a Yak-52under almost all conditions. (I can't think of any situation where the Yak-52has an energy advantage in a straight ahead hassle but I don't want to be absolute as someone will probably think of a situation.) So what advantage does the Yak-52 have over the CJ6A? Due to its 7G load limit vs. the CJ6As 6G load limit it has a higher instantaneous rate of turn. Given that the Yak-52 almost always starts slower than the CJ6A it will be turning inside -- initially. But the CJ6A can manage energy better. The CJ driver just goes vertical and trades kinetic energy for potential. TAS drops so turn radius drops. Now the CJ driver has the turn radius AND the energy advantage. In a knife fight whoever has the airplane that bleeds energy more slowly or can sustain energy in a turn is likely to end up the winner. Best solution for the Yak-52 drivers? Shoot the CJ6A guy in the back when he isn't looking and get out of Dodge. That seems to have worked reasonably well for Erich Hartmann and some of the other guys flying behind the black crosses. In the end, the only thing that matters is who's dead and who's not.<<<<< Bryan, Your comments about energy states are academically correct. You are also correct about how best to kill your opponent. The fighter pilot's goal is NOT to get into a dogfight, but rather, to shoot the dumbass in the back before he sees you. The vast majority of guys who have been shot down (by another fighter) in the last 90 years never saw the guy who shot them out of the sky. However, he who wins a knife fight (slow speed fight) is the guy with a plane that can maneuver his nose onto the other guy, to employ weapons against him. The winner may have much less energy than the loser, but the winner's plane was capable of pointing his nose (turning) while the loser, with more energy, was not as maneuverable. For example, a Yak-52 or CJ can easily defeat an F-16 in a dogfight where the Yak/CJ has 100 kts and the F-16 has 150 kts. The Yak can quickly turn and shoot the F-16, while the F-16 can barely move his nose. Trust me, I've been there in an F-16 versus another fighter that could point his nose at 150 kts and I lost the fight. Thus the fighter pilot's mantra, "Speed is life." I have flown both the Yak-52 and CJ in dogfights. The Yak-52 is slightly more maneuverable in a slow speed fight (I assume this is primarily due to the different wing designs). You can turn and point the -52 at speeds where the CJ just buffets and doesn't turn worth a hoot. So when, as you mentioned, the CJ goes into the vertical the Yak pilot just points his nose at the climbing CJ and shoots him. The CJ had more energy, but he died...energy isn't everything. So, the best solution for the Yak-52 pilot is to force the CJ pilot into a knife fight where the Yak has the advantage. The CJ pilot should avoid getting in a slow speed fight with a Yak. Just like an F-16 should avoid a slow speed fight with a Mig-21. The Mig has the advantage at slow speeds. Now, having said all that, my experience has been that regardless of aircraft types and energy states the BEST PILOT is the guy who usually wins. Enjoyed the discussion!

Playing with airplanes is really what life is all about. There is no higher activity than playing with airplanes. But we do have a political issue too. For example, I was taught that every gunfight involves surviving three things: 1. the gunfight itself; 2. the criminal legal system; 3. the civil legal system. If we want to keep flying not only do we have to survive the flight but we have to survive the political system too. We don't really see it yet but more and more out flying is going to become politicized if we want to keep doing it. The masses of people vote. The politicians want to get reelected. The politicians will do what will get them the most votes. They will play to the masses. We aren't the masses. The masses do not perceive the value in what we do. So how do we keep the politicians from voting away our privileges? And there is no place else to go. I would have said Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa but all of those places have moved steadily in direction of socialism. So how do we make sure we keep flying? No, I don't have any good answers. -- Brian Lloyd 2243 Cattle Dr. brian-yak@lloyd.com Folsom, CA 95630 +1.916.367.2131 (voice) +1.270.912.0788 (fax) I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . - Antoine de Saint-Exupery ________________________________ Message 25 ____________________________________ Time: 02:02:04 PM PST US From: Cpayne Subject: Yak-List: Re: RE: Re: Race? --> Yak-List message posted by: Cpayne >So Craig, What are you feeding that CJ?

The driver that can fly his a/c on the limiter in a slow fight maintaining his nose authority will win the fight only to lose when the wingman who was hawking the fight guns your brains out. Hence as Steve says, "Speed is life". See and kill your opponent before he sees you! So, "if ya aint cheating, you aint winning".

He said he would charge $0.50 over his cost for his next load of fuel. He is going to buy another 8000 gal. this coming week. He said he would let me know what that will cost him. On a positive note, KSEM usually is one of the cheapest on AV gas in this part of Alabama. My home base 08A (Wetumpka ~ 12 mi north of MGM) and Clanton also typically have low fuel prices in this region also. The good news is that they are both within 30 nm of KSEM. So all that said, we currently have 35 aircraft signed up for the fly-in. I will send an individual email to all those that said they planned to attend to take a head count. We are about 1 month out from the event now! That email will go out this weekend...sometime between the guard's needs.

We want very dedicated people. The job is 7 days a week for 10 months of the year. You will be on the road the whole 10 months The days are 12 hours long. You must be a nonsmoker (these airplanes are priceless). The pay is negotiable. (Don't ask me. I have no idea.) You will receive meal allowance each day and room. You usually share a room with one of the other volunteers or pilots. Your primary job will be the care and repair of one of the two rarest aircraft in the world. A B-17G and B-24J. (Most likely you will be working the B-24J but you may help the other mechanic and he you when needed) 85% of the work is engine (W1820 and PW1830-65) with repair on other systems, hydraulic and electric. You will also act as flight mechanic on all flights. The airplanes make an average of 140 stops in 38 states during the 10 months. You will know where every Applebees and Hooters is in the US. You will meet the best, brightest, and even famous people around the US. You will be interviewed and photographed by TV and newspapers more than you care for. And you will answer the same questions a million times. Above all you must be respectful of every veteran (and the idiots too). You will be one of the very, very, few people in the world doing this job. And believe me the troops working there as well as Rob Collings are picky, and you must be a dedicated Warbird nut. (You can see why we want dedicated people). You call me about what's its like "on the line". (386-467-3313 home) or call the Collings Foundation, in Stow,Ma. at 978-562-9182 for the pertinent info. They make the decisions. For the right guy/gal this is heaven. Jim "Pappy" Goolsby
