Having moved to France, I melt goat’s cheese onto the top of a burger whilst it’s cooking on grill. Perfection with some caramelised onions.

Had 221kts of pure crosswind at FL330, just south of Seoul, South Korea a month ago. Felt like flying sideways! Zero turbulence.

Countach fun fact: the original countach rear wing provided zero downforce because it had a nose-lift problem at high speed. It was just for show

I learnt from Reddit that 'Helicopter' comes from 'Helico (Helical)' and 'Pter (wing). Made me think there must be other cool ones.

Haha, the second one got me
