I'm afraid to find out what all you guys call your flight attendants.

great thread!

Piper PA-38-112 Tomahawk, in addition to the previous....

"Tommytrauma"
"Tombahawk"
and
"flying death trap"....which I think is just a bit harsh. The spin recovery procedure is in the POH....works every time

T-hawk

P.S. Does anyone know why the MD-88 is the "mad-dog" ??

 

[crash-proof]

C-182 : Skylame

C-182 lame?

I thought the 182 was everything the 172 wished it could be...and more.

i take it you're a piper driver...
