Yeah it’s mostly not touched except for aerobatics or crosswind landings. (Although little taildraggers use it a lot for ground control and countering engine torque at the start of their take off run.) There’s a naive tendency to think of it like a rudder on a boat, but it’s actually a really ineffective and even somewhat dangerous way to turn an aircraft in flight. It requires substantial input to get the aircraft to turn at all, and while it’s doing it it’s trying to put the aircraft into a nasty spin.

I don't have time to do an investigation for myself on each point of the article. I wanted to make a quick summary of each section because I know there are a lot of users who don't read articles like they should.

Some of the points do seem like actual coincidences. I'm not someone who believes that coincidences means conspiracy.

For me, the most suspicious thing is Israel was so quick to call it an act of terrorism. Terrorism is a type of intent. One pilot could attack another pilot over many different intents, maybe a personal dispute between them. Also they blamed Iran pretty quickly too.

To the people who read my summary, please reply to the base thread and please also read the article for more detail about each point.
