Why I fly #6: Can pigs fly?

Greetings.

 

This "Why I fly #6: Can pigs fly?" offering was initially just a "sound test" recording but I liked how it came out (high winds and all) so I just kept it. You'll see a little of Turkey(?) instead of the deserts of North Africa I was planning...

Yet another great vid! Interesting sound effects too.

I flew that bird in a Sim OutHouse event, little race around SE Asia in the mid-60's era. Loved it. It flies great (once you learn it's individual ways :) ), but I kept it down at around 500' AGL, and even that is a bit high, from what I read. Hand flew the entire course. Terrain Following by hand is a blast, especially at .9Mach!

Fantastic cockpit too. Some of the gauges work great in other planes too :)

I saw a little picture someplace, with a caption: Live your life like you're flying an F-111 through New York! I'm not THAT good with it though :D

Thanks for another enjoyable vid!
