Gambell Savoonga run?

Had a great time at the Salinas Air Show with @Inverted ... Even if we spent most of the day being bullied by a couple of 2 year olds.

So much fun!

You finally figured out what having your own airplane is all about.

Interesting demonstration about the differenes in optical quality of front and side windows on the 717.

Two pictures taken about 5 seconds apart of a sunset behind Haleakala. The first one was taken through the side "clearview" window (the one that slides open) and the second was taken through the front window. Only edited for image size.

I knew they attached a bunch of aerodynamic "fixes" to the 1900 but why have I never noticed the canard (lack of a better word) in the rear. Or may be its the first biplane tail configuration? Weird.

Nope, standard issue. The 1900 D's all have the Raisebeck strakes and winglets to add as well.

I've always heard the fins pointing towards the ground called Delta fins or strakes. But what's that horizontal aft wing part actually called? Do they still call it a strake? And what the hell is it for?

I forget the nomenclature, but it helps in stall recovery. Or what we were taught in ground school....

The Stabilons I think is what they are called.
