We are those who like anything that is airborne except pollution |
Good morning.
Hans from South Africa sent me the first photo that inspired me to add some few other from my collection that I called “ Ground effect”, GE.
As you know GE is a psychological mild disease for airmen that has been characterized by the pernicious attraction to the land wile you are flying. Aggravated some time by the presence of female audience . In some most serious cases this unhealthy practice is known ad CFIT (control flight into terrain) very popular in General Aviation and ultra light flying indeed.
The good thing is that if you fly lower that half of your wings span you can SAVE FUEL. As many birds do.
cheers
