• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Great shots, everyone !

I'm hoping Santa will bring MSFS2024 early next year, especially now that MS has delegated the release of many new 'features' to the new platform.
This waiting without a sim is more painful than getting a root canal, lol !

I haven't seen many pics of the Black Square TBM 850 ? :confusion:
 
I spent a fair number of hours flying in one of those going to and from Oil & Gas production platforms. In the early 1980"s we still had a number of Vietnam vets flying those things. You could always tell he was a vet by the way he would takeoff from the platform. Younger pilots would hover a couple feet off the deck then using as much deck space possible to accelerate. Not the old Army vets. They would climb a couple feet the fly off the deck then fly off the edge of the platform, and drop like a rock until getting enough speed to climb out and fly off into the sun set.

Robin Aircraft No More...

I read today a French court ordered the liquidation of Robin aircraft. General aviation loses another iconic manufacturer. :frown-new:

What a shame. My first solo was in a Robin HR-200 (G-BCCO) at Sywell on November 23rd, 1975..... Wait a minute... What a co-incidence, that was 48 years ago TODAY!!!!!!! - Kenneth (See MSFS recreation below!!)

Some late fall flying in the Messerschmitt over Danville, Illinois (where the real aircraft was restored and has been based/flown). Getting very near the 25-hr inspection point now.
