Maybe someday I'll learn how to land an airplane, but I was really jazzed about what I'd accomplished in just three days. |
The airplane accelerates very quickly in the dive and when seen from the ground appears extremely fast. |
The sudden loss of lift caused the airplane to descend rapidly to the runway. |
The spoiler is a plate along the upper surface of an airplane wing, which functions to reduce the lift and increase its drag. |
The airplane impacted a swampy area inverted, abeam of the departure end of Runway 20 and about 120 south of the runway. |
Helicopters constantly buzz overhead, and today, a huge fat grey airplane circled low around the city. |
