Yes. But it should be called a ferry tank, not an aux tank. When it's called an aux tank, people think this is a factory option that they can...
Now that is much more newsworthy! Not sure if I will ever be in the 700 knot club.
Crosswind landings take practice to master but are very satisfying. There are two techniques: 1) Sideslip 2) Crab. For the sideslip you bank...
No stress on the airframe from large tailwinds. The plane has no idea about ground speed, it only knows how fast it is flying through the air....
