I LOVE planes...(picture)



Do you?

If so, post a picture of your favourite plane...

I do. Got a couple of different ratings on my license. Used to fly a little, but haven't been able to afford it since I was back in the UK - renting is so expensive here!

And it turns out the plane pictured is on its way from Singapore to Chennai at the time of posting.

Great choice. Thoughts on the F-35?
I mean who wouldn't love this?



A full HUD with customisable HGS options. I'd give my left nut to fly one of those.

I much prefer the F-22, the F-35 is like a sickly child in comparison, very disappointing :frown:

I somewhat agree, but I think time will tell more than anything. It'll be great to see how it gets on over the next few years!

Do you use flight simulator at all?

PMDG do a brilliant model of it for FSX. The full set is pricey ($500) but well worth it IMO. Takes getting used to though - it's licensed by Boeing, modelled off the real thing, ships with 2 operating manual volumes, crew training manual, QRH, schematics and Jeppesen charts.

Manuals and Documentation, $400

Aircraft, $70.

Another $30 for the /600 and /700 models.

As I say, pricey, but if you like the realism and have the money for it, go for it.
