Who were the Japanese pilots who volunteered for suicide missions?
Suicide missions in aviation by Japanese pilots in World War 2 were deliberately flying their aircraft into a ship or another aircraft. The Japanese believed this was a high sign of bravery and loyalty to their country.
What is barnstorming?
what does term barnstorming come from? It came from post WWI pilots who would travel to State & County Fairs giving rides. If the passengers farm was close enough the pilots would fly over the farmers barnyard.
Was there any plane used in both world wars?
There were several different types of Bi-Planes that were used in both World War 1 and World War 2. Some were used on Naval ships and some were used as reconnaissance detail. Some pilots used them as weather planes, spotters and for slow, close up flying to do a specific type of bombing or other types of attacks. I don't know the exact names of these bi-planes but there are a lot of black and white films showing them working in both wars (not the theater type of film but rather military records).
Can an airplane fly around an tornado and not feel any turbulence?
No, it is usually quite turbulent. Additionally, helicopter pilots flying relatively close to tornadoes have reported fairly strong winds blowing toward the tornado.
How much is the salary for indigo airlines pilots?
The salary for pilots for Indigo Airlines will depend upon their experience. Most pilots will start out at close to $1,500 per month.
Do you have to have perfect vision to fly a bomber plane in the air force?
Yes, pilots need to be glasses and contacts free for their own safety and for the safety of the crew flying with the pilot. They have to pass a distance and close up eye test.
When was Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground created?
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground was created in 1981-01.
How do you stop birds from flying into our school?

Why does slip occur on close-packed planes?
Slip occurs on close-packed planes because the atoms in these planes are closely packed together, making it easier for them to slide past each other when a force is applied. This slipping motion is a result of the arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice structure of the material.
Jet stream and flying times?
Jet streams in the United States tend to flow from the west to the east. They dip lower into the country during the winter so flying times in the winter months become longer when flying West and shorter when flying east, as a rule. Pilots will try weaker winds when traveling westward and stronger winds when flying eastward. A general rule of thumb also is that the higher you are, the stronger the winds, although this can invert. Trial and error from a large number of planes becomes the best method to prove these winds out. The Coriolis effect also comes into play in flight. The wind is affected by the spinning of our planet, and this will cause lower altitude winds to be a right angles (or close to right angles) of winds at higher altitudes. Flying is rarely 100 percent into the wind or 100 percent with the wind, so variations in altitude make a huge difference in fuel consumption and time.
What is Radar Information Service?
Radar Information Service (RIS) is a non-control service provided by air traffic controllers to alert pilots of aircraft that are in close proximity and potential conflict. This service enhances awareness and helps prevent collisions by providing additional surveillance information gathered from radar sources. RIS is not a replacement for vigilance and adherence to regulations by pilots.
