Which is better. A320 NEO or Gee Bee Racer?

[Fielder 3,680]

North American P51 vs. Cessna 152.

The Microsoft March Madness brackets.

Caravan… or Dreamliner…

lol

We might as well be comparing a Saturn V and the USS Enterprise in terms of mission and capabilities.

What a stupid thing.

[Fielder 3,680]

Can you bet on this bracket in Vegas? I wonder what the odds are that the GeeBee will upset the 320 as favorite plane.

You are not tuned into the insanity in the United States that is "March Madness".

Similar to the stupid way you Europeans go nuts over your soccer Football, the US has a tradition of putting the Annual NCAA basketball tournament into this "Bracket" format and some Americans lose their minds when the pairings are made...spending ridiculous amounts of money betting on which 2 will make it to the final, and eventually the overall winner.

Marriages have ended, jobs lost, lives lost over this silly gambling ritual, and Fielder's just linking to the rather comical parody in our world. 

Watching grown men kick around a ball with only their feet for 90+ mins...only to see a score that sometimes amounts to nothing (Wow...did I just watch a sporting event that ended with not a single score...how pathetic am I?)  ....I know some like you (and me) think this March Madness bracket thing is..... dumb.

But it made me smile when I saw it, because I think its funny as heÌÌ!

I do know March Madness (actually I'm an avid US sports fan); the "teams" if you will are just stupid here. 787 vs Cessna? Sure, how about this: "Who wins: Coffee or the color green?"

But that's what makes it funny/ridiculous.

Exactly.   A few millennia ago...a team will a silly name called "Gonzaga" became part of basketball lore...and all that time I thought it was some off-shoot of a Japanese monster about to face off with the other "G" monster.

True.  But that is what makes it funny.  Even funnier is that everyone here sees how silly it is to match an A320 Neo vs a BeeGee.  Show this list to 99% of the rest of the world's population, and they would not even see the comedic value because they'd have no clue what a BeeGee is.  They'd likely think its an old 80's music group vs an airplane that just made you laugh to look at it.

Just like I can look up when a jet flies over and instantly tell my wife what airline, model, engine type the plane is, which she thinks is just silly that I know this (and she could care less)....let another woman walk by us in Louboutin's or Jimmy Choo's and she can instantly tell you the model, year produced and the retail price...I just see a stupid pair of high heels that some poor woman is doing a balancing act to walk on.  And to think that a lot of those shoes cost more than my entire gaming rig, makes me want to vomit.   The world is just simply full of stupid stuff when you stop and think about it. 🤔

Huh? 😄

Someone has far too much time on their hands to produce that MSFS Madness meme 😆

What else do you expect them to kick it with? 😜

(For the record, I'm a Brit who hates soccer and loves football, American-style.)

Maybe Seedy should have waited a couple of days longer before coming up with this. 😆

[JBDB-MD80 1,473]

So who is going to win the finals in this meme bracket's I say the buggy "non expert" ATR 42-6 vs the Cessna 152 in a close 52% ATR and 152 48%. CJ4 or Longitude should win it though. Funny they don't include 3rd party aircrfaft.

Leaving them out means Microsoft / Asoba is guaranteed to win! 😉

That is opposed to American Football, where the actual action is around 15 minutes in an entire game. ( And I am American, and love Soccer. ) You can't be morbidly obese and play soccer. 😉
