1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted August 9, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 ~S~ Chaps, Thought I would share this with ya'll at the risk of boring you to death.... Went for a little flight in a C42 light aircraft with a M8 yesterday and he let me fly it most of the way We flew from Poppham airfield down to my home town of Waterlooville and over my house ! LOL Had to descend to 1700ft from the perscribed 2000ft because of low cloud. It was pretty bumpy compared to a 747 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer57 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yup. Actual flying in real aircraft (and I don't mean airliners) is downright addictive. Gives a whole new perspective to this sim thing. Wait till you get a ride in a warbird like a B-25 or C-47. Lots more noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Good deal Painless, I'll never forget my first time at the controls. I was lucky enough to make it a warbird too. Here is my post on it over at UBI http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 6641084723 I really want to get my pilots license, but I don't see much chance in it for atleast another 4 years. Kids in college, I'm tapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
