@AlexikakosThe great thing is,they don’t even have to think about it. They just do it. I heard somewhere that bumblebees should not be able to fly, based on aerodynamics. No one told them that.
The “problem” with the bees and flying, is that the calculations were done under the assumption that the bees had “fixed wings”. Any damn fool that has ever seen a bee knows they flap their wings, so the calculations were just a bit off.

Remember, the pilot is always responsible for the condition of his plane.

You’re supposed to grease the axles, not the rims.

Actually, all braking equipment was greased and released. It’s just that landing on sand tends to gum up the works.

Greased lightening – Yes. Brakes – not so much.

How do flies know that they have to turn upside down to land on the ceiling?
