Yup, me too. 66 percent discount, can't argue with that. I think this is my ninety-umpteenth PA28 from Just Flight over the years. Guess they must be doing something right.

Looking forward to the Warrior too. I'm going out on Friday for a day out with Fifi which I'm looking forward too, so will be a bit late to the party but there you go. Also due to get another new guitar delivered from Germany on Friday as well, so it's going to be a fun day when I get back home, although explaining to Fifi why I need yet another guitar might not be so easy, but I've got all day out with her to soften her up. I'm thinking of going with overwhelming her with technobabble about the difference 8k impedance of the P90 pick ups makes to its tonal qualities. 🤣

P90s are the best pickup.

Before the mods chastise us again for talking guitars...here are a few of mine

And I am definitely picking up the new warrior...on the fence about the turbo

That’s funny. This Turbo will be my first. Passed on the non turbo model in March simply because I don’t need two of these, regardless of discount. But that’s me. From all the glowing comments on the non turbo model and the previews up on the new one, pretty much sounds like one of the best, if not THE best aircraft in the sim currently.

I wonder what kind of Turbo Arrow their going to model. There are some turbo models where  too high settings of MP during take off can blow off the engine! 

This one does that?  (heh)  They model everything these days don't they!

I am the other way want the turbo for that extra grunt over 10,000' but not sure if the warrior offers much we do not already have (even though have I have flown one in real life).

Nice collection, have not picked up a guitar in years. I have a '72 Tele Deluxe (twin humbuckers, maple neck with no fretboard) stashed away in a cupboard somewhere (bought it new in '74) I should dust it off and see if it still plays, it must be coming up to being 50 years old shortly.

I just like the grungy little trainers, they feel more like flying to me...and no I am not a pilot IRL but a buddy of mine will take me up with him once in a while...

Just outside of KPXE.

I would come and take that Tele off your hands but that would be a bit of a trip. That is just a third of collection but those are the ones I play the most.

It plays really well, but is not worth a lot as they were never that popular.  I could probably get roughly the price of a new Fender for it if I wanted to sell it. If i had bought the 5 or 6 year old second hand '67 Strat hanging next to it, that would be worth a fortune these days. Only real issue with them is the neck can move about if you get to radical with them but they were more a jazz/country guitar anyway.

This one is pretty much identical to mine right down to the wear and tear ( I think the switch on the one in the photo has been replaced as pretty sure they were all ivory/white back in the day):

Custom Teles are fairly popular these days, and If you can find a Stones fan looking to buy one, they'd probably give you a lot for an original one because Keef is a bit of a fan of 72' Teles with Humbuckers, although you can of course sling a PAF in a standard Tele yourself like I did on one of mine, although I did have to rout the cavity a bit bigger to get it to fit and cut a bigger hole in the scratchplate. Looks good though and sounds great too:

But just to steer things back toward aeroplanes, here's some aviation-related Fender Ads from the past:

Forgive me mods but I am absolutely laughing and dying inside at the guitar talk after a mod warning and thread cleansing. It's an adorable and innocent interlude from a typical MSFS thread. It reminds me of what randomly happens on Reddit "Shh, mods are asleep, let's talk guitars". I'm all for spontaneous innocent banter like this. Shouldn't happen often but when it does I'm down with it.
