    That actually seems a bit fun.

    18 yr old, solo, no cert., stolen plane

    I bet he learned on FSX or some other program. Perhaps he's the next Bob Hoover? You know a natural?

    Civilian vs. Military Training

    Why is this so absurd? If you have the scores don't you stand a chance just like anyone else?

    Civilian vs. Military Training

    You know what though is that guy truly just as qualified? I say that because those crazy conditions you worked under in the military had to have given you some sort of mental resolve that the civilian sector trained pilots may not have. I could be wrong but just a thought.

    Civilian vs. Military Training

    Thanks for the good input and discussion gents. This has so far satisfied my curiosity regarding the two training avenues. Further curiosity I have has to do with the instructors in the military. Would you say the actual instructors themselves are better in quality?

    Civilian vs. Military Training

    Well guys I know we have pilots from varied backgrounds and types of training on this forum so I thought I would throw this topic out there. In your opinion what type of training atmosphere will generally make the better pilot? Will it be the military environment with perhaps more structure...

    What's wrong with this airplane?

    You should indeed channel Worf then insist they fly with you.

    Are pilots over obsessed with safety?

    When accident rates are right up there with motorcycle vehicular accidents safety should definitely be a priority.

    Who knows? I just went, had a great time, and took pics. I was hoping some of the more knowledgeable members would have some input but I guess not. :no::dunno:

    Hemet-Ryan Airshow Pics

    Man watching the F-86 and P-51 was all I needed for the day. The sound of those machines was truly awesome. Below are some shots I got of some of the display aircraft. Note, they were taken with my old Blackberry camera so quality is low.

    Yuck - Hershy Bar Wings and Updrafts

    So guys the key with turbulence is to pretty much stay with the pedals, don't freak out on the yoke, and understand that it won't kill you?

    Some people need a little bit less "tough" and more brains.
