[NSRCA-discussion] A bit of nostalgia and BPA

[Del K. Rykert]

An old trick some use to use was fuel line tubing on the wheels to add friction when flying of paved runways. Some would only add to both sides of nose wheel. Others added to all 3 wheels and it did help..  Didn't mean you could land at mach .3 though.. <vbg>
