I agree, very cool thing to do

And what a cool looking plane that is. That canopy looks so clear..... bet it gives great views.

How hot was it in the plane aflter you got up?

What resolution were you flying at?  

Visual range set beyond 3 miles.  Sliders at max, FSAA maxed and AF 8x... Is that an ostwind vulching the runway down there?

lol, wtg HT, glad you guys had fun :)

Very cool!

Is this some kind of hint that we will get OpenGL support for AHII soon?

Dale demonstrated some aileron rolls, a couple of lazy eights, a loop, and a couple of hammerheads. Let me tell you...this is a WHOLE lot different than flying a sim! Except for one thing... the stick forces on the RV-8 are very similar to my CH Joystick. I was amazed! Nice and stable and ever so responsive.

Great post. Im jealous.

Again, good post you lucky ^%*%'s.

Nuke, sitting on the runway with the canopy open and the engine off was stiffling to say the least. Once he got the fan going it cooled off a lot. Canopy closed and flying was pretty warm until we got some altitude then it wasn't bad at all. Since it was a clear canopy I never felt claustrophobic. Your right, there are some great views. Saw a bug on the windscreen and immediately dismissed it as the mouse pointer :).

Nice post Mark and thanks for sharing the experience with us all.


In the third picture down, is that one of you making taka-taka-taka machine guns sounds while HiTech homes in on other planes?  ;)

Damn...he offered me a ride too but he said something about weight and not being over 250.  Got a ways to go to get to that weight class.  :)

Mark, from that walkaround pic, it looks like you aren't the ONLY one carrying around some extra baggage!
