Yeah, that is what I have been saying Home PVC's with FSFS are not
sumulators. Glad to see that someone with your vast experienc agrees with me.

Actually, we don't agree. PC sims are simulators; but to fly a real
FAA certified Simulator join the airlines!

BTW, B-26s are cool, but A-26s rule!
I know. I have flown missions in both. Have you? BTW, what rules is what you
are flying at the moment. If you don'l have it, it can't rule. I spend a lot of time at Nellis. And the guys there do play on PC sims. But they never confuse them with real flying.

Nope (buy my dad had a lot of time in B-25s and A-26s). Do you have
any time in F-4s or F-16s? I have flown missions in both! - diffetent
time and place - although I would love some time in any of the WW 2
airplanes (have only managed the T-6 and a couple of 450 Stearmans so
far - plus postwar fun things like T-28s). I love the F-4, and the
F-16 is a blast to fly, but if I had to go to war today I want an
F-15E with wall to wall AIM-120s and JDAMS. So F-4 are cool, but F-15s
rule! Actually I was just yanking your chain about the B-26 - which
was a really awesome medium bomber (lowest combat loss rate if I
remember correctly) and was available when it was needed. And the
prototype looks like something out of a science fiction movie compared
to other bomber prototypes of it's day! For some reason it has been
somewhat overshadowed by the B-25 - probably due to the fact that
B-25s survived in much greater numbers after the war for various
reasons.

BTW, gotcha saying the Nellis jocks "play on PC sims"! But we do
agree that nobody ever should confuse them with real flying - which
even applies with full up FAA cat D airline sims (lets face it, if you
screw up a single engine approach in your 777 sim to mins in a
blizzard and land in the airport terminal, it'll only hurt your pride!
And possibly your job security!


Check six, and keep the faith!
