Yeeeaaaahhhhh!!
Its that kinda time here, when trees are bright red and yellow, and its clear day. Last greetings from summer in our climate.
So i set myself to ride Sting TL-2000 at local aeroclub! they do offer this experience. pilot asked what am i doing for living, i said - im sax playa in local band, but i have hobby simming.
He said - take controls then. next 15 minutes i was like this -
My butt felt all the motion!
He said lets turn toward Chekerill (local artificial mountain for skiing). i banked plane to 10 degrees and some time later said - its darn scary to bank it more!!!
He said - nahhhh, let me show you. that turn at 60 degrees of bank made me much more than that
he also made rapid descend with high bank angle before landing. we went down from 2500 ft to 500 ft or so in couple of seconds. i havent noticed sink rate, coz THAT WAS darn SCARY, and i was in the "heart of oh sh*t situation" as Lou called it once
after he leveled for downwind leg i said: That was AWESOME!!!, its cool that i made pee just before flight
Next week im gonna ask him to fly me through the most scariest maneuvers possible! I'll take a pair of spare pants just in case ))
Hour later i jumped with chute from 3000 ft for the second time. thats not scary, - its cool, but not scary! lots of f-words were said during descend. Especially because my balls jammed by chute, and darn helmet just....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargghh, - darn helmet, you know
And its very beautiful up there, so clear, as if it's a different world...
i'll get my video with jump next week i guess
BTW, who thinks that FSX world looks dull without people - i couldnt see em from 1000 ft...cars - yes, you gotta look hard to track people. FTX scenery and REX looks pretty close to real. You just dont feel it in FSX...
