ASOBO, you've made such beautiful clouds, let us surf them!

Of all the absolutely stellar aircraft I have seen in the pipeline for MS2020 ... there is just one hole ... there are no turbine aerobats. ;)

There are options of every size and for every mission, and I plan to fly most of them. Yet ... there is no fire. There are no razor winged thorough-bred's, no wild and untamed machines from the forge of Vulcan, himself!

I was literally about to buy the Hawk T1/A from JF (xplane) when MSFS2020 was announced. I looked around and found a beautiful T38A for FSX. Then I thought to myself: Cessna, themselves, have the new Scorpion, which conveniently carries a Garmin cockpit. Or maybe a civilian homebuilt like the Turbine Legend? L39 Albatross, perhaps? There are a lot of those on the civilian air race circuits. You see, I call them turbine aerobats, because they are some of the highest performance aircraft ever made - a marriage between piston aerobats and heavy metal power. Can't you hear the call? The sound and fury? The world tumbling outside your canopy? Just you, the clouds, and a few thousand pounds of roaring thrust...

This is a polite request to not forget us ... the community of cloud surfers and occasional sound barrier breakers.

I would be interested in using a magic flying carpet to experience this sim.

I am the Walrus.

Alternately, I could be a Narwhal (They are so cool, and their horns are so useful!)

I want my hang glider.  That is the true way to cloud surf, thermal surf, ridgeline surf, etc.
