Virtual pilot in flightsimulator.

Hi friends,

My hobby is flying aircrafts in Microsof flightsimulator. I fly since more than 15 years as a virtual pilot.
In the beginning with Cesna airplane and now my favorite aircraft to fly is the Boeing 747 and boeing 777.

It's so realistic, like real airtraffic controll, turbulence, real weather conditions, and you can fly around the world.
Most of the time i fly around Philippines.
Here are some pictures that i made during playing the game.
Fasten your seat belts  

Bye bye, Rich







ready for take off at Mactan/Cebu


Flying over Philippines with Cathay Pacific.


Save landing at Mactan

a lot can be done with our technology nowadays especially some airplanes to be flown virtually,thanks for sharing

Had a pal who's an RAAF pilot. Said the cadets spend lots of hours intensive flight simulation training. One is to fly below the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Of course, they don't do this during hands-on training.  But who knows? Daredevils may have done this. Hehehe.

Burning ambition since childhood was to be a pilot. Main reason studied engineering as a stepping stone. But failed the eyesight test. Was no longer 20/20. It was 50/75. Yep, me is a frustrated pilot. One of the many in my life.

"Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame
A thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away ..."
