As most of you know by now, we recently lost one of our dearest friends and admins here on the site. Matt's family is hosting a Celebration of Life for him and we have decided to raise some funds to help them offset the cost. If you are able to help with this it is greatly appreciated by both my self and his family.

You can read about how well Matt was liked and will be missed in his official site obituary and the thread announcing his passing.

UPDATE Thank you to everyone that has donated to this cause. With COVID19 postponing Matt's Celebration of Life gathering, we have decided to hang onto the funds until a new plan is sorted out. That might be a while depending on how all of this shakes out, but the funds will be used per Matt's families wishes when the time ...

Sebastian is an 11 year old boy that likes to play Wings of Glory with some of the Ohio Squadron members. At the end of the month he is going to have his 4th open heart surgery.

Over the years them members here have shown us how big their hearts are when it comes to a good cause... and I feel this is a very good cause my self. If you are so inclined and are able, please make a donation in the amount of your choosing to help Sebastien's family with all the extra expenses surrounding this surgery.

Here is Sebastian playing with his grandma at CappyTom's place. He has to go up to Michigan every month for treatment and this surgery should fix that so he doesn't have to go any more.

Here he is having his treatment. ...

Why have American DH.4s such a bad climb?

I've only used it with tandems, more as a mechanic to allow the interceptors to intercept and as Sam says it makes thing a bit smoother than using a stall

Why have American DH.4s such a bad climb?

Steep 90 turns and wide side slips may be too much.
