Those are great. Thanks Tony. I have added a section to the Flying Giants Dictionary with those terms.

Wow! Thanks for the work on the subject Wizard and others, informative and fun.

Nice work Wiz...except for that Warbird circle flying crack! I do 3D and crank out the cool heavy metal Warbirds form time to time!

Keep the jargon coming

P.I.G. = Pilot Induced Glitch!
A Larry= Any club member that is like the Local Village Idiot with never ending bizzare questions.

[wizard]

Texx no insult intended. Reread that line "These are the people at the club who come out and fly nothing but trainers or war birds."

I will add the new ones to the list on the ne thread "Giant Jargon - the FG dictionary

[Shahid B]

Plane Police is also called "Fun Police" over here, why not add

"Dumb Thumb" giving the wrong stick resulting in a crash, I.E. Pulling up when inverted (my favorite)

I know WIZ...just busting on you! Your collection of definitions is awesome! Us multi-task pilots who fly a Warbird now and again catch a bunch of guff on a 3D site like this! If it has wings..I'll try to fly it!
