Cool video.

The teacher showed this in Hobbit Lass’s Intro to Engineering class on Friday. After the film, he asked the class how this was possible. Hobbit Lass started rattling off about lift and ailerons. The teacher said she was the only one who had had any kind of answer all day. :^)

Good for HobbitLass.

Is she in college already?

At the tail end of the clip, they mentioned Victor Belenko. I read about him in high school. In the Air Force, I refueled his airplane.

BTW, how many 3-year olds can identify a transistor by sight and name...
