Lou -

No radio?? Is that legal? No electrical??? Doesn't sound right. Neat looking airplane with the wheel boots (or whatever they're called). Are they really good for 10 more kts?

I've fooled around with the Cub and the 172 in FS9 &  FSX a few times and it just doesn't seem like you get anywhere.

When I lived in KY I had a buddy that was a retired Col. B-52 driver and I would go up with him in a rented Warrior about once a month.

Seems like all the for real commercial pilots like those little bitty airplanes. They all say that is REAL flying. And I suppose it is.

I have been fascinated by airports and commercial airliners since the mid 50s when I joined the USMCR and flew DC3s to San Diego from Milwaukee for summer camp at Camp Pendleton. That was something!

Then in 1962 I went to work for PAA (reservation agent) right out of college and rode on 707s and 727s a half dozen trips a year. One day I heard on my car radio that UAL was hiring FEs and all you needed for an interview was a private license and 2 years of college. Then I heard a commercial for Atlas Aviation at Stapleton. $5 got you a30 minute demo ride in a Cessna. I bombed over there right then and took the ride. I remember taxiing to the active with a 727 behind us and a DC8 in front. The noise and the smell of jet fuel burning and the rapid fire atc ground, that I could not understand, intimidated me! The instructor had me land the plane while he worked the throttle and told me what to do and it was smooth as glass. I went back to my desk at Pan Am and that was that!! Oh, I didn't mention--- I was a real white knuckle flier until about 20 years ago (but I never passed up a trip)!

Sorry for the rambling!
