Isolation and flying.
Although I'm classed as a key worker, my hours for the remainder of March have been reduced and so I'm sat at home like most of the population.
Queue X-Plane.
I've flown from Milan to Gatwick, Gatwick to Milan, Gatwick to Jersey and Stansted to Edinburgh in the last couple of days.
Has anybody else gone a bit mad with their flying in order to pass the time?

Not yet. I’ll limit my time on fs or by the time this is all over I might have thrown the pc out of the window through boredom! EricTHas anybody else gone a bit mad with their flying in order to pass the time?
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!
Re: Isolation and flying.
Havent done any flying yet as I've been pretty busy, but should be easier after this week is out of the way

Re: Isolation and flying.
I'm trying to work from home. Connectivity troubles, can't talk to colleague easily, can't find [paper] files, have to make my own lunch and clean the dishes instead of going to the canteen and now one of the neighbours is having a tree shredded outside seemingly.

Re: Isolation and flying.
I had started X-Plane 11 and stepped into the cockpit did a few circuits then came out, must be because of tiredness but trying to commit to a few flights today using Pilot2ATC.

Re: Isolation and flying.
I'm actually on hols but with nowhere to go . I've done a couple of flight in XP from Orbx Leeds/Bradford to Heathrow. First go ended a abruptly. Too busy sightseeing and not paying attention to airspeed meant lawn darting in the vicinity of Nottingham.
Leeds/Bradford is pretty good but how on earth do you summon a push back tug?

Haven't been doing much recently, though I did try out A2A's P-40, generously made available for free. Very nice indeed, well up to their usual high standards.

Pressing problem at the moment has been getting my medication from the Pharmacy 6 miles away although a kindly person has now offered to do the job in the morning.
Trying to finish off 2 models which have lingered in the 'pending' box for too long. Managed Leeming - Leewarden in an Alphajet yesterday, might get a bit more FS time tomorrow. Being semi-house bound this is normal for me and I find that I have to ration my FS otherwise it becomes more like a job of work rather than an entertaining and challenging hobby.

Re: Isolation and flying.
Flew IFR Gatwick to Kefalonia in a Norwegian 737. A trip we have made about 35 times in the last 25 years.
We have only missed one year since 1996, and that was because I was ill. Some years we have been twice.
May has been cancelled this year, but we hope to go in September.
