    How does the pilot of the Antonov AN-2 see where he’s going when flying backwards?

    Guess I’ll need a double dose of Off to fend off those female mosquitoes.

    Yes, but does the Antonov beep when it flies backward?

    Backward flight with the right wind, etc, and relative to the ground, not airspeed.

    The female mosquito can drink that much blood ONLY if it is allowed to do so. I tend to slap first and ask questions later.

    At some point, it was decided not to fly the Antonov An-2 in a hurricane.

    I am reminded of Gary Larson’s strip about a hapless mosquito that targets an artery rather than a vein.

    Modern Oscars have almost no metal in them. They are plastic.
