If you read his book about it, you might notice he was something of an adrenaline junkie. 😄 Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

Or all four. 🤣 Not wrong haha sure takes a certain person to attempt something like that 🙂 But sounds like they were in contact with the right authorities, had all of their necessary emergency survival gear in tact, got their overweight-to-add-more-fuel-tanks flight approved etc.

In this case it was the passenger that bought the plane so I guess he would get a bit grumpy if he had to swim. // 5800X3D // RTX 3090 // 64GB RAM // HP REVERB G2 //

I'm reffing to his channel video at the top when he fly very low with pax on board. I had my own share of stupidity when I was fresh private pilot, and I'm here to share it because by a sheer luck I didn't received a Darwin award at the time 🙂 flight sim addict, airplane owner, CFI

I don't remember which of his streams but he seems VERY happy with the flight models. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyyfkfhgG1UMz1icWGABNaw It's what I said all the way. They seem quite good fundamentally, with a few things awkwardly off. Those are on the issues list of the development snapshot and being addressed. Features might be added, but that can very well be done by 3PDs as well. 20 minutes ago, Chock said: Another contender for the understatement of the year.

Lost three fellow pilot friends in the same incident in the early 2000s when their two aeroplanes collided. It was caused by utterly reckless stupidity on the part of two of the pilots, which I won't elaborate on here as it still divides opinions among those who knew them.

August 14, 20205 yr For what it's worth, KatiePilot, who is a Twitch streamer and a real life A320 first officer, does like the feel of GA aircraft in MSFS. KatiePilot has flown GA aircraft before in real life but she did say it has been some time since she flew a GA aircraft. She says the strength of MSFS right now is the GA aircraft. Probably not as relevant as candourist's opinion since candourist specializes in flying GA aircraft in real life. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
