What a cast.
Love it!

We were amazed to see the Beech 18 inverted,… What a strong Air Frame perfectly put through her paces.

I love this scene… “Hey you on on the ground it us up here in the air…” I know that’s not quite the quote, but hey.

We love the beatific look on the face of the ‘Pilot’ when he realises he’s flying the Aircraft.
It brings to mind the scene in One flew over the Cuckoos nest when they all go for a Boat trip.
One of the Inmates is given Control of the Ship and starts singing " I’m Popeye the sailor man".
The thing with flying heli’s in the sim, is every circle is seen as a potential landing spot.
“It’s close enough to a circle, turn around !”
“So many circles, so many choices”
But sometimes, you just have to settle with landing in a square.
