Re: VARIG Electras
He was, but the Electra has a very special place in the heart of many Brazilians, passengers and crew alike. It was the end of an era, not just because it was the last turboprop service (at the time), but it represented the end of a level of service we haven't seen since. The crews routinely flew al...

Re: Your First Flight?
The details of my first flight are very sketchy, and based mostly on "guesswork". My grandparents took me on holiday to Mallorca to celebrate passing the 11 plus exam, the flight was from Luton to Palma, and I remember that the aircraft had rear mounted engines.....so I think it would prob...

Re: Sacked Pilot loses his appeal
The Biggles of Birmingham :brick: This was not his first disciplinary infraction, and he was once saved by a command ejection initiated by his back seater when he pushed the limits in a Tornado.

Re: Rising from the ashes........
Whatever the outcome of this trial, piracy is here to stay, with or without Pirate Bay. It is a sad fact of life for any software company today, especially in the poorer countries like Brazil. I'm considered very strange by friends and colleagues because I won't use something I don't own, even busin...

Re: Rising from the ashes........
Hmmmmmm...it's not really an announcement that sets my shorts on fire. In their heyday (FS2002) PSS produced some of the most advanced simulations available, and I still like their BabyBus (heavily modified, it must be said), but they were really left behind in later years and produced some "le...

Re: PMDG MD-11
I've been waiting for this one............and at that price I'm going to continue waiting :roll: Level D has similar functionality at a lower price, and is IMHO the top end of the payware market (~$50) in that most people can justify the price for the quality of the product.
