Pssst, so you want to fly a B-25? from Pilots of America Message Board by gunnyperdue | Ok, I know some of you guys have flown everything, seen everything, heard everything... and have the T-shirt to prove it.... some of you are even skeptical by the mere suggestion that we are offering folks the chance to fly a B-25... after-all, you could buy one... when you win the lottery... or after you marry the rich widow/widower... or you could put one together from spares.... or you could crew on one with a private owner or join the CAF and throw a bunch of money and time at one... some of you might even think this is a shameless plug (how else can I tell you how cool this is, that there is even a chance of doing this... BTW a shameless plug will be when I give you an autographed copy of my book after we fly... how's that for a plug?)....

Aviation Trivia of the Day by JP Santiago - In 1968 the US Naval Test Pilots School (NTPS) at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, was struggling how to teach its test pilot students the phenomenon of inertia roll coupling, where the inertia of the heavier fuselage can potentially overcome the stabilizing effects of the wing and tail, particularly in high speed flight. Intertia roll coupling became more of an issue in the fighter aircraft of the day which often boasted long slender fuselages and relatively short span wings. The standard naval jet trainer of the day, the North American Rockwell T-2 Buckeye, despite its benign handling characteristics as a trainer, would react too quickly and at times dangerously to be an effective teaching tool on the phenomenon. The Navy needed an aircraft that had a unusually slow roll rate with a slow speed and good recovery characteristics to that the students of the NTPS could see and experience the evolution and recovery from inertia roll coupling…
