What do you like about this subject?  I am passionate about flying; any excuse to get in a plane, talk about a plane, etc etc.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  The last join of your thumb is about 10nm on a 1:500,000 map, and 5nm on a 1/4 mill.

In a plane with two tanks that feed independently, try switching to the left tank and a quarter to the hour, and the right tank at a quarter past. That way you always know if you missed a tank change.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject  I think that all pilots should be taught to spin, and grass airfields should be compulsory on the training course.
