I sense that he might embarrass some of our more vaunted members.
OTOH....he might be Shane's grandson...

I don't think he'd be interested. At that level, he's likely looking for more of a procedural sim like DCS instead of stick and rudder like here. ;)

Strikes me as 1) Autistic or 2) Rehearsed. Just observing, not making a judgment.

Kid is probably a 1 in a million savant at seeing something once and being able to replicate it flawlessly after. And he happens to like flying air liners. Six years old is about when savants of this kind start doing things like this. In some places he only has another 10 or so years and he will be able to solo a light plane. I started flying right seat in Taylorcraft Austers out of the Peshawar airport when I was 7. Not every child with an over bearing father follows his foot steps as a commercial multi-engine captain and instructor.

My father was a Russian linguist for the USAFSS stationed at Air station Pehsawar in the early 60's. He translated Russian chatter from Asiatic Russia to time launching of U2 and RB57 to spy on Russia. At that time in the 60's the Air Force allowed dependents to live at the air station. I was born at USAF Nuclear bomber airfield Sidi Slimane in Morocco, my birth certificate says Casablanca like all other AF brats born there. My father had to pay his own ticket from gliders at the London gliding club Dunstable Downs in slingsby tutors while stationed at Chicksands, to powered flight training at the Peshawar air port and soloed having to wait until stationed once again in the U.S. to get his first civilian ticket. He retired after 23 years and paid his own way up to multi-engine instructor by his retirment from NSA. He flew as a commercial cargo carrier and people hauler on the east coast being hired to fly federal congress personnel and FBI due to his NSA security rating and contracted to fly forward Russian dignitary delegations around the east coast because he spoke Russian. A pace maker grounded him when he was scheduled to go on his jet ride to gain that rating. Until I left home at 18, I flew with him several hundred hours a year whether I wanted to or not. He wanted to make a pilot out of me, didn't work out.
Vriacu you have some personal issues and are very abusive of this community as a habit.

No, I am not the least bit abusive, habitually or otherwise, and do not intend to be so (nor do I have any personal "issues"). The "community" could use a little coaching in that regard though, as Skuzzy has mentioned more than once. I think we all can afford to take a deep breath now and then, myself included.
I am very sorry for your personal issues at home. I guess you still have some affinity for airplanes though or you wouldn't be here.
My dad didn't force me to fly. He didn't have to. I was joined at the hip with him every time he went up. Yeah, I was scared every now and then--like when I noticed I could see the ground through the space where the bottom of the door wasn't completely sealed on our Tri-Pacer--as any kid would be at the thought of falling out of the sky, but I loved it any way.
It sounds like you had THE GREAT SANTINI living at home. That's a tough deal. :salute

All of these beat those of your (hypothetical) average, self-important, blowhard, amateur map designer any day.
I sense that Bustr thought you were referring to him, not to yourself. I made the same mistake. Thus the confusion.
First time I've ever been sorry to start a thread. Looked like good fun, now it's bordering on personal attacks. We'll now remember the six year old as a prompted loser. Very sad.

Nah, don't think that way OM. It was fine that you posted it.
It's a discussion board. You'll draw out opinions.
Yes, people can misinterpret posts. Tone and intent are not easily discerned in written form online. Things tend to be read as harsher than intended. I wasn't attacking Bustr at all but boy I can see how that could get taken the wrong way. Oops!
Keep posting, sir. My apologies for making you feel bad. Not my objective, ol' sport. :cheers: :salute

Vraciu, a little humbleness goes a long way. No need to bash the kid.
-
I do not see anything positive, in most everything you have said, in this thread Vraciu.
You have taken what could have been a fun thread and made a train wreck out of it.
-

I wasn't. Just pointing out he's not the second-coming of Chuck Yeager. Whether that is positive or negative is up to you guys. I see it as a neutral statement of fact. Humility and confidence can coexist, too. The good guys in my line of work exhibit both.
Cheerio.

Marion Morrison aka John Wayne was born in Winterset Iowa, but hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your claim he was a Texan.

I can't read half this thread! I'm lodging a formal complaint. :old:

You can say it is or not...you have no idea if he is or not. Don't know why you are hating on this kid so much...hes a 6 year old...
Chaulk it up to jealousy?
Kid is well on his way to being a pilot.

He just wished he was....

Saw this the other day Oldman, love that kid...kudos to the pilot for taking the time, probably left a big impact on that little guy's life, and he on the pilot.
Great post
