jagabom Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 If you could in real life fly just one plane for the rest of your life what would it be? 747-100 for me. Jim CYWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Depending on how much money I had at my disposal, I'd either chose a King Air dual turbo prop or some type of Global to get across the Pacific. I'd probably just lease them. LOL OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

stinger2k2 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Phenom 300 for me. Easy to operate with good range and speed. Also able to cope with smaller strips. Stinger Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'd like a Robin DR401 with a glass cockpit, the best of both worlds. Why can't we ever get something MODERN like this for FSX/SE/P3D?

lnuss Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'd be hard pressed to stick with one, but it would either be a Cessna 180 or a Bonanza. But if I could go with three, I'd have a Bonanza for trips, a Stearman for local messing around/aerobatics and just plain fun, and a Super Cub for a bit of back country stuff. Larry N.

PhantomTweak Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 An F-4 Phantom II as my first choice, F/A-18C for a second choice, and either a P-51D or F-4U Corsair as my 3rd choice. If I had to choose. Thank goodness we don't. At least not with the flight sims out now. Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

jgf Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 A Bonanza V35 or a Beech Staggerwing. Irritatingly, getting a pilot's license is the one goal in life I never achieved (though I did finish "ground school"). Too many irons in the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irritatingly, getting a pilot's license is the one goal in life I never achieved (though I did finish "ground school"). Too many irons in the fire. Even with 1,500 hours total I still cannot answer the `favorite` question: Depends on the time of day and what I flew last... Saab Safir becomes Diamond DA20 Katana, mixed in with Chipmunk and a DH Fox Moth and the odd Glider for good measure. Had a good rode in a TBM900 a couple of weeks ago...

Scarebird Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 In sim world I’m quite enjoying the Cirrus SF50. Simple to operate, fair turn of speed, good navigation suite, and a better choice of available airfields to use than some of the bigger craft out there.

BushPilot Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Pilatus PC-12 I love single engine propeller aircraft. And this one is just right for me. Not too fast, not to slow. Got a propeller and a Jet if you think about it. It can get into short runways. The range to is not bad, with just over 2000 miles can cross ocean by island hopping. Also can get into the flight levels. Started: Flight Simulator 98 (Year 1999) Private Pilot Certificate ASEL: August 7th 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
