Thats some cool stuff. My dad was part of a radar crew on a P3 Orion when he was in the Navy after he got out he got his pilots license and co-owned a single engine with a friend of his. He took me up a lot when I was younger I always loved flying, but never got around to getting my own license when I was old enough. We were building an Rv4 in his workshop until he died, after that I lost interest in the project and let my mom sell what we worked on so at least someone would finish it.
Great stuff. Wish i had the oportunity to get my self on that. Really love this flying thing. Too bad the closest i can get is ride a plane on MFS2004 with a car wheel controller
@Scott - I have never heard the PC9 descibed like that before. But, thinking about it, it does look exactly like that! It is the square wings that do it I think. Anyway, the plane is damn manoverable, and just a whole bunch of fun. The ones in the Video are 2FTS ones, that is number 2 flight training school, but the Roulettes use the same exact aircraft for their displays. In fact, they broke one of theirs and stole one of ours! Oh, and I am not flying, I am sitting in the back filming. They don't let me do both at the same time.
I would encourage anyone who is excited by flight to get involved in aviation. There is a huge number of options for the budding pilot out there, and it really is not THAT expensive to get your licence. I know we can't all be Air Force Pilots, but there is the same thrill to be had in civil aviation. Anyway, I am glad you guys liked the video, I had fun making it.
