the entire world uses a drogue with a hose to refuel their aircraft in midair... how come the USAF uses a flying boom? shouldn't the drogue and hose require less coordination and therefore safer and easier? what advantages does the flying boom have over the hose-drogue system?

I am not having much trouble actually manipulating and motivating the aircraft at school. I fly well. However, I am having some trouble with ground school....the more book and technical part of learning.

I suspect it has to do with the classic, "Very Old Dog; New Trick", situation.

My instructor has suggestions, my fellows at work have ideas, and the old timers on the tarmac are very positive.

What are your suggestions?

is there in a big 747? To move all the flaps and rudder, and anything else is moved by the fluid. Reason I ask is a few years ago I was sitting right behind the wing when the flaps were moving. It looked like nothing but hydraulic lines there.

I know this is a rare incident. But would most likely be pilot caused.

How is this kind of situation handled by the airline. Is it a debriefing, simple reprimand or serious disciplinary action?

Can you use aircraft tires on your motor vehicle? Are they approved by the Dept of Transportation? Why would you want to?

Just looking through my POH, and the props can be from 67.5 to 69". Is it really that hard to make them all the same length? It sounds like poor craftsmanship.
