The article commented on two terms that I conjured in Low & Slow:
flyking
flyker


Those two terms have not much coin today.

Yes, Sam, that definitely meets the definition of: FAUSTSPEAK. :clap:

One of his most recent came up at Dockweiler: MICROHANGGLIDING If I have the definition correct it is when ground handling and the wind lifts the pilot a few inches off the ground. Joe may have other definitions as well.

I would encourage Joe to write a dictionary of FAUSTSPEAK :thumbup:

We all love you JoeF! Continue speaking up and out. :!:
