Alas, older guys are not the only ones who cannot fly for real.



More than you can do


I would not trade my first solo flight for any amount of money. It
was a magical mixture of joy, excitement, personal satisfaction, and
wonder that could never be duplicated or replaced. Even if I had
never flown again, all the time, money and effort I had invested
would have made that 30-minute flight worthwhile.


So the hours of real flight after that weren't as good?



You're an idiot.




I've investigated flying in France a bit further, and the more I
learn, the worse it looks.



They wouldn;t have you and you wouldn't be able to do it anyway.


I think most pilots are familiar with flight sims, although in my
experience much of their knowledge-base is pretty out-dated, being
based on what flight simulator could do years (or even decades) ago.
Many real pilots are quite amazed at what our Kiwi can do.


That is my impression also.


Yes, gleaned from your vast experience of jerking off.
