If I had a bucket list, flying in the DC-3 would be on it. :yeah:

I have been in several, but never airborne.

The nuclear capable bomber the US never found an antidote to:

I took a flying lesson today in a Remos G-3

It had a nice sounding engine. :up: Especially from the pilot's seat.

Good luck and conga rats on your flying lessons. I had a hoot learning how to fly.

There are two important words in flying: Terrain separation. :D

That's because it's just a trainer. :03:

I was in the Civil Air Patrol juniors program when I was 13. Not only rode in one, it was a genuine C-47, jump seats and all. My dad was a pilot for United, so I've ridden in a B-377 Stratocruiser, DC-4, 6 and 7, plus a Lockheed Electra, Convair 440 and 880 and a Fairchild (Fokker) F-27 Friendship. United picked up the latter when they bought out Capital in the mid-'60s. You haven't lived until you've ridden under the wing of a high-wing plane and watched the landing gear go up and come down from underneath. :yep: :sunny:

United also had DC-8s and Boeing 720s, and I've ridden in a 727 and 737, but never a 707, and nothing newer, so I've never flown in a jumbo jet of any kind. I rode in an airbus to the 2008 subsim meet, but it was a little one.

The Luftwaffe likes to kill incests.

Uh.. what? :)

Flying low you kill incests.It would not work in a fast moving aircraft but in Vietnam Loach(OH-6) pilots would fly very low sometimes just off the ground in open terrain.Their job was to find enemy resistance and when they found it they called in AH-1s flying above them.


The Loach pilots would see the splats of bugs on the windscreen especially the splats of biting incests which have blood in their stomachs they would know that they where getting very close to an enemy position that was well disciplined not to attack.

The A-10s at Davis-Montahn sometimes you could see squashed locusts on the airframe.

Now, I as probably most think that incest is wrong, but I wouldn't go as far as to
kill them.

Or did you mean insects? :O:

Old aero engines sound awesome, and most importantly the 109 looks better than the Spitfire :88)
