That landing - where was that ? Why does it look like Chino with all those green fields ? You didn't fly to SF and back in one hop ?

That's not Chino, it's south of San Jose. No clue what field it was.

We have 180HP, we burned only 7 GPH. Not bad ... mixture way leaned at 10k, plus we don't use that much power to stay with the lead plane who's a C175 with 2 people on board. It took us 3h to go to south of San Jose from Chino.

Now if we use the oil tank (for smoke) and fill it with gas, we have an extra heuuuu ... I don't even know

Standard is 18 tanks in the wings. If we go full power, we burn a lil bit above 13 GPH, quite a difference compared to 7GPH!

Had I been there with a hellcat I could have had sweet revenge on Frenchy.
Still dont know how someone could fly 3 hours in a 152. They are just way to small.

Rofl Gofaster.

We were typing for the toyota Sion, something like that.

Rip, definitly stupidity, never underestimate the IQ of a borred pilot. Now, as weird as it looks, it's easier to fly formation being close than far. It's also safer as everyone is less "sloppy". You also can keep an eye on everyone with the corner of your eyes.

Getting close, when it's not turbulent, is not hard either. It's like driving at 100 mph on the freeway and being side by side with an another car. You can gently pull on the side and get mirror to mirror, as your relative motion to him is very slow.

If you do, can you email it to simfreak@sbcglobal.net

Thanks

Typos must be...err...expensive? Who flies the "eraser"

Russian, I'll take care of that for you. (don't tell me it's for the F.A.A. please:eek: )

Hehehe LE Paul, they charge $1,000 a pass. We don't go for less than 10 signs. And no ... there's no erasers

We can type in ANY language, except the complicated chineese letters. We did screew up one time when the computers were switched in 2 planes. It looked like sweelily ... we saved the face by telling the customer it was a test sequence, then we switched positions and skytyped correctly.

This is how it looks like when we don't screew up toomuch.

This Saturday, we should be skytyping over New Port Beach at 3pm.

Hey you will be flying over my house in Huntington Beach. I will keep an eye out for you.

Don't worry, its not for FAA. My desktop requires new pics.
