Re: A true Spitfire on wheels

One can argue that the Jag XJ13, D-types, E-types, etc. remind one of a spitfire on wheels, but this Rolls-Royce Merlin powered Bentley is a real spitfire on wheels:

Re: Red Bull Stratos Live

I was glued to the coverage all morning, didn't want to miss anything of this historic event. It looks like the only record he didn't get that he was after was the longest duration free fall.

Re: AccuSim GA Planes feature request

+1 for that!

I would also like to see a much more functional transponder with different modes; I hate when the default ATC automatically changes a squawk code for you.

Re: Please Make Rarebear

It's not, though. It's another thread stating that what you want - as a tiny sector of a small industry - is more important than anyone else's. You are saying it repeatedly. You aren't listening when people tell you why you are wrong. You keep going. You wrote on this board - and continue to - beca...

YES! The Staggerwing is my all time favorite airplane. You can't beat looks of one! That or a Cessna 195.

Re: In cockpit video.Crash didn't clear the trees ouch

4 adults, take off at a 6,370' elevation, 9,167' density altitude, 165hp... pretty scary stuff. Thank god they are alright. Bad decision that the pilot proceeded with the climb out when he had enough room to touch down or maybe turn around, but a good decision that he aimed for the trees instead of ...
