This conversation is slightly off-topic, but give some old guys a break.
Thanks for the info and pic. It looks as deadly as I remember except for the jetpacks which were not on the versions I saw. The articles I just read indicate that it could not have flown from March as I thought. Landing gear was hard on runways. Flew out of Fairfield-Suisun (Travis).
Correct mental history everyday.
86 here! Iām livinā those glory years that for sure
aināt the good oleā days!
Turned 84 this week . . . keep on hanginā in there!! Iām beginning to think this as good as it gets!
I was 91 in January
I turned 90 last May.
M20 Kockpit? Just trying to decipher that. My first payware was the Moooooney too
Probably a Mooney (model) M20 K pilot. An old M20 G tried to kill a friend of mine back in 1977 (ā78?) when the air intake froze over in IMC while moving from Whiteman AFB to Vandenberg AFB. They did a TCTO on that model the next year to address that issue.
Regards
My Mooney was 231GV and was on the cover of AOPA Pilot in March 1980.
Wow!
Iām only 66.
But Iāve been simming since the early 80s (started on a Commodore 64).
I remember I was thrilled with being able to fly over the Eiffel Tower, rendered in colored wire-frame.
Thanks, very interesting.
Iām now watching the ā12 Oāclock Highā TV Series on Netflix in bed until I doze off.
Also āSuitsā which is great.
Iāll also look for this one with Stewart or others on Netflix & Prime.
By the way, why propellers on the rear of the wings?
Is it better to pull from the front or push from the rear?
Im a āSEENIORā Seventy now and love my video simulations. BCsimPilot from the BC, Canada area
Sorry for the totally mildly off-topic post here. Quoting myself from this other closed topicā¦
