No. You are right. Too expensive, relatively risky, and VFR flying lacks
utility. VFR is a risky and completely unreliable means of
transportation.

You are smart sticking to the sim.

out of curiosity, when flying the simulators do you use any kind of head
tracking device?

Do you guys do simulated ramp checks?



How about a simulated IMSAFE or bottle to throttle? G

I have read of many sim pilots actually drinking alcohol while they fly,

Count me as one. I damn near fell out of the chair after too many
Sierra Nevada Pale Ales while flying MSFS.

And a Playboy magazine is safer than sex.


Indeed; a good trait for any pilot is one that...shall we say....has the
situation "well in hand".

I wonder if there's a simulated mile high club?

Simulator pilots can pretend to have a date! G

What do you log if you are the sole manipulator of the pilot in
command?
