Re: How do flies do it?

Like most of you, I've come across the mindless chat which pilots drive themselves crazy with when they're forced to hang about waiting to scramble.

The funniest discourse which I have heard concerned itself with the conundrum about how a fly lands on a ceiling. I believe that it does an incomplete Immelman roll and then lands on its forward undercart first.

Is this true?
