Roald Dahl - Fighter Pilot to Spy to Author
Roald Dahl, renowned for his children's literature, had a notable aviation career. Born in 1916 in Wales, he joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1939, training in Nairobi. Dahl became a fighter pilot during World War II, flying the Hawker Hurricane. He survived a crash in the Libyan Desert in 1940, suffering severe injuries. Despite these setbacks, Dahl continued to serve, engaging in combat missions in Greece and the Middle East. His experiences as a pilot greatly influenced his writing, particularly in his autobiographical work "Going Solo," where he vividly recounts his wartime adventures and challenges.

    700+ hours in the 1949 Bonanza A35 N8595A. I loved it. E225 upgrade and Hartzell oil constant speed. Plan ahead. I refused several vectors to final on non precision approaches to SAN back course, “Unable. I can’t get down from here”. Saddle tank. I loved this aircraft. It was honest, predictable.

    This plane was largely a redesigned of the zenith 601xl. They share the exact same wings and will bolt up interchangeably. The improvements that this has is better looks and a better canopy design. Otherwise it’s basically the same aircraft but for more money

  • @SteveSiegelin
    @SteveSiegelin Месяц назад

    There are a lot of aircraft you did not touch on. There are quite a few robocraft that fall in the category of ultra light or micro lite. As for fixed-wing there are quite a few different variations that are very cheap to obtain or build. I'm trying to find more of a breakdown on the far of those smaller craft as well as electric fuel hybrids like generator powered electric motors. There's nobody putting any information about this out on RUclips and it is almost impossible to find on Google. I have not purchased a current copy of America's Federal aviation regulations, I am American so those apply to me directly. I would like to see someone put out a more detailed video on the breakdown of the rules and laws for building and operating true ultralights. For instance, you did not touch on any of the ceiling differences between LSA and standard ultralight non-licensed pilots. I'd like to know if there's a difference between the UK and the US on ceilings. . . .

  • @SteveSiegelin
    @SteveSiegelin Месяц назад

    For anybody that's confused as to why the UK would make you have a license in America wouldn't just think about the size of the regions we can fly in. You're more likely to be flying over populated areas in the UK.

    Just learned of a couple killed in the early 2000s next door to a place I wanted to buy in Nor Cal. Apparently he backed his plane into the hangar and got some rash. His fly by night mechanic put a new rudder vator on and I guess did it wrong. Well yeah that guy and his girl died when it ripped off. If anyone knows the accident it was in CA about 20-25 years ago. Would like to read more about it.

    Grouping US ultralights with UK flex wings is inappropriate. US ultralights are any plane that has a dry weight under 254 lbs and there are tons of options that utilize traditional stick and rudder controls. Heck, there’s even a few full metal birds that meet the weight limit like the Hummel ultra cruiser.

    Holy shit this video has so much wrong with it. For a channel that is supposed to be dedicated to aviation, you should do a lot more research before you put out a video like this. A, aside from the very first photo, the photos in this video are of the Boeing 707, not the comet. B, your whole explaination of the windows is blatantly wrong, the windows being their cause was not a myth, it is the exact reason. The square windows lead to cracks and fatigue around the corners of the window, which caused the mid air breakups. Seriously dude, do your research, or you'll just look stupid.
