This may be a very simple question to answer and I appreciate in advance any answers, Why do birds have wings high on their back yet most aircraft have lower wings attached to the underside of the fuselage ?
Jump to postWhat is the life of a private jet pilot? When a pilot flies a group to a special event, big games, etc,do they get to go to the events? If you fly a group to say Hawai'i, for a week or more do the pilots hang or do they fly away and return later. I once knew a man who had a 737 and would fly to his ...

Jump to postMore a question. Jets are first off the aircraft it appears; what happens to the jet engines? With all the engine problems these days are parts taken from old/used engines and reused?
Thanks

My first airplane flight was in 1962 on a TransTexas DC-3. We flew from San Angelo to San Antonio. Nothing more impressive to a young boy that those radial engines starting up with a whine and then huge belch of smoke. When we landed in San Antonio, there was a BOAC de Havilland Comet sitting there....

Jump to postDoes anyone know what the current status is of Trump's 757? Has he sold it, do other members of his family use it? Are there any restrictions placed on its use by the Secret Service as to who and when it may be used? Does it get preferred status if and when it is used? Thanks
