Ah…I see. Well damn, they skipped the best one - the 717. I love that little plane…!

Hmm…for you guys out there doing the Air Spray stuff…

Just tried the Just Flight T-1A. Much better slow speed handling now. Where before it had a weird incongruity between the pitch available for takeoff and the pitch available for landing–at a given speed–now both are realistically similar. Now one can flare at round 110 and milk a nice touchdown at around 100. Before it would drop out of the sky at 120.

Hey…even better, can I load the shrimp in a belly pod and just jettison it over the airfields? LOL…you can come along later in the Hughes 500 and spray the whole thing with cocktail sauce…

Hey @BeachAV8R, I know you just got back from an epic ride. You sound as if you might be a little hungry.

I just drank a Mocha Latte Atkins shake. I give it 3 1/2 stars out of 5. I sat across from an FO a night ago in an IHOP in Dulles and he had the temerity to tuck into a stack of Tres Leches pancakes. I had Keto protein murder rage coursing through my veins.

People are doing some crazy stuff. My recent FO didn’t eat once during our entire 3-day trip together. He was trying to get life insurance and needed to fit the BMI range for his height.

Did you suggest there are multiple ways to skin that cat?

Freeware release of an old XP9 plane…with a new 3D cockpit. Might be worth a look if you can pinch your nose at the graphics because it is probably a great Air Hauler plane…

Simcoders has released a new REP for the excellent JustFlight Turbo Arrow III/IV. I’m on the fence…I like the Arrow a lot but I think her and I are still getting over our around-the-world journey from last year as I haven’t felt the need to fly her since. It’s 20% off this first week, anyway.

I am eyeing REP for Carenado PC12… but first I need to buy that PC12 :slight_smile:

Might have been mentioned previously…but the DHC-1 Chipmunk V2 has released…(looks like it would be a fun VR plane…)

I got some 15 hrs in one of those. Still remember the smell of oil, sweat and vomit in the cockpit :laughing:

PT-19…that the type Harrison Ford put on a golf course?

With HF i think it was a Ryan PT-22

I believe so Chris.

Edit - No, Stavka is right, that was a Ryan.

After watching the startup video, they have me sold with the crank handle…that has to be a first. It looks great! This looks like everything that the MSFS Bird Dog isn’t.

Video of @PaulRix starting the PT-22…(you just have to imagine there is a VR headset on Hanks)…
