Question, how many here are involved with real airplanes?

[WTE_Galway]

Flown 172's 152's Piper Warriors and a Skyfox Gazelle. Now grounded through getting too old (diabetes) but converting to an Australian ultralight license with less onerous medical requirements when I get around to it.

Romanator,isn´t that at Monino?

And Flanker,you fly Flankers?

[Skoshi Tiger]

60 odd hours in C-152's and PA-38's

Unfortunately I haven't flown for years as there has always been other priorities.

Hence the obsession with the flight sims.

Nothing worse than being an Eagle with his wings clipped!

Cheers!

I have about 650 hours of single and multi-engine time, mostly in Cessnas. Plus, about 50 hours in gliders. I have owned and flown two gliders. First a Phoebus B and then a Libelle 201B. I have flown the L-23, L-33, 2-33, and Grob 103 several times, also.

No, it's at Zhuliany airport in Kiev, Ukraine. I'd love to see Monino at least once though!

OMG that thing is a monster! (unless you are a tiny, but I do not think so)

I'm 175 cm, just like Oleg's pilots - but I guess I look about 1/2 size.

...and your head looks small too

Right or wrong, i think this debate will give us another classic sim-comedy one-liner just like the famed "two weeks", ".50 cals porked" and "190 bar" incidents...flight sim culture in the making is what this community is all about

S!

Bf-110, not a pilot but let's say I know the planes I work on pretty much inside out

[jebUSMC]

I'm a 2 working as a mechanic on MD80s. Been a 1 as a mechanic on light aircraft in my past.

Q. How do you know there's a pilot at a party?
A. He'll let you know.

A few years ago I built an ultralight and learnt to fly on it. While waiting for SOW, I keep the Great White North safe from enemy intruders in my ultralight:
