WACO is wah-co (rhymes with taco). Far as I know Lancair is Lance-air,
just like it looks.

That's funny. To me "Lancair" looks like lank-air. If the C is not
followed by an E, it's a hard C sound and all that... :-)

Correct, but it helps to know that the Lancair company was founded (and
still presided over) by Lance Neibauer.

LOL, I think I would benefit greatly from an aviation-themed Trivial
Pursuit game.

Now there's an idea for students: trivial pursuit.

I've been looking into an Australian airplane, the Slepcev Storch. Now
would that be pronounced SLAP SAF , CHLAP SAF, or what?

btw: ever seen an airplane take off in 30 feet runway? Or have a stall
speed of 16 kts.?
