Just what is that thing????


There is a beautiful plane right outside of WVFC PAO office, N6658A. It is a glossy dark blue with immaculate white interior ... but what caught my eye was the "thing" on the side of the plane. This is a Venturi vacuum system. The idea is the suction produced is strong enough to drive the gyros of the Attitude Indicator (AI) and the Directional Gyro (DG). Pretty cool stuff in addition to a sharp looking plane... so much to learn... so little time....
