Aero-News Quote of the Day

"What is it? STOL stands for Short TakeOff/Landing — and a STOL Drag race is when two aircraft fly side-by-side as fast as they can down a 2,000-foot straightaway, land, turn around and race back to land at the finish line. STOL Drag Events carries its own waiver and offers training to any and all new pilots looking to better themselves in Power and Energy management and Directional control. After successfully completing the training course, pilots can become an official STOL Drag race pilot with race qualifications from the FAA."

Source: From a statement by 'STOL Drag' -- who have organized an exciting series of competitions emphasizing basic stick and rudder skills -- and what looks like a LOT of fun.
