The Awesome thread was starting to turn into an aircraft thread, so I think it'd be nice if we move all aircraft conversations to a new thread. :)

So, aviation nuts, post away!

*Could mods move the aircraft posts from the awesome thread over????

Anyway, something to kickstart conversations

Purely because i'm off to fly that actual aircraft in 2 hours, never flown Cessna before, more of a Robin man...
 
^I've had the pleasure of flying a Cessna before (With a fully qualified pilot of course, not on my own). Very easy to handle.
 
Since I'm a sucker for vintage warplanes:

In the second video.. The woman who flys for the Thunderbirds.. I umm.. umm.. Well pretty. :blink:
 
So who here actually holds a pilot's licence? I was considering getting mine, but its far too expensive, and I'd rather get my racing licence first.

That is one of my favorite WW2 aircraft.

They have one at the Smithsonian Dullex Annex which I went to 3 weeks ago.

Every so often on various military forums I'll hear a story about how Iran turned over several F-14's over to the Soviets to look at. Usually they will provide this picture as "proof".

Neat huh?

Too bad it is a fake.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Austere again.

Also, gotta love the old war planes.
