February 21, 200521 yr I have to say, the Mirage F1 story on today's Avsim newspage is the best story I have ever read on Avsim or any other FS web page! Leaves a lump in your throat and a warm feeling in your heart. Thanks for sharing it!David
February 21, 200521 yr Author Agreed - it's a great story. I have spent the last 45 or so minutes reading it and also the original pilot's stories on his site.Dave Blevins System: Asus P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 mobo *** i7 2700K @ 5gHz w/ Corsair H80 cooler NVidia GTX 570 OC *** 8 GB 1600 Corsair Vengeance DRAM *** CoolerMaster HAF X case System overclocked and tuned for FSX by fs-gs.com Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog stick/throttle & CH Products Pro Pedals Various GoFlight panels *** PFC avionics stack
February 26, 200521 yr I have had the privelage of flying this simulator & was present when Arthur Piercy was first re-united with his aircraft. It's been a really moving story to say the least & the people that the Dooley brothers have met who have been somehow related to the whole story has been absolutely amazing.Just last night, Dave Dooley reminded me that it was through flight simulator that a real-world pilot was able to accomplish his dream - something none of us should forget.For those of you who have not read the whole story, I urge you to do so - it is extremely moving & interesting
