I may be off by a couple kts on maneuvering speed but Vflap IS 172 for flaps 15.

I got that, I was just pointing out that the way you wrote it, it says that the company wants you to maneuver no SLOWER than 172 with flaps 15. At anything above 172 you are overspeeding the flaps.

Just pickin' on ya, im sure its one of those you know what you meant to say but it came out wrong on paper.

Best article ever!!! .... and by that I of course mean ... who in the name of hell do they think they are to come out and say something like that?!?!?!

"in any event, the cockpit is no place for ladies" ... yeah, that was the WHOLE basis for the what happened that night ... because there was a friggin woman in the cockpit distracting the "goofy white guy" ... dear lord ..

Some people just astound me with their level of stupidity...
