No need. YOU do NOT fly.


I flew last night for several hours. Unfortunately, I had an accident
when someone who hadn't bothered to contact the tower decided to take
off on the same runway in the opposite direction. He flew right over
me, I hit the runway, and skidded across the taxiway onto the apron of
Terminal 3. The aircraft was a write-off but my pax and I got out
safely. One of the risks of online simulation is that ill-behaved
pilots will pop into existence on a runway and take-off without ever
even noticing you on short final. Oh well. Thank goodness I had a
spare Baron waiting as back-up.


Yes, you really need your meds adjusted.
