After years of flying combat sims and even flying as a member of a virtual WW II fighter squadron (virtual VMF-124), I "retired" to civilian flight sims. It is a different world, stress is mostly caused by weather, terrain, AI aircraft proximity, and the ever present danger of a crash to the desktop. I actually find GA sim flying to be relaxing, but I still sometimes get a hankering for high-g maneuvers.

Holy loose wheel! 😲

That could have been really bad if someone had been directly beneath the nose or if passengers were boarded or deboarding.

That, or they are discussing their plan to align themselves with the machines and conquer the humans.

When I bought my house, I had a professional inspector conduct a very thorough inspection. This guy was supposedly on top of everything. He said this house had no problems. Wrong! After I bought it, significant problems showed up, like insufficient support for load bearing walls and PB pipe. Much of the PB pipe had been replaced by the previous owner, but only in areas that were easily visible. PB pipe and its decaying joints were still within the walls.

Things like that have been happening in the U.S. for decades and it seems to be getting worse. We seem to have far fewer skilled tradesmen working in construction and a whole lot more day laborers.

Internment camps, lizard people, secret government facilities... riiiiiiight.

Hollywood may soon undergo a massive change. Gone will be all the actors and massive studio lots, replaced by computers and AI artists.

Well, that was a... spectacular test. Kaboom par excellence.

Yeah... uhhhh... I dunno. I try to not get into conspiracy theories, but sometimes I do have to wonder.

Are we establishing Moonbase Alpha and will we be storing nuclear waste on the moon? 😉

Well, the Blue Angels have a really good safety record, they train for precision flying.

Thank you for fixing this issue. There is now text in the selection boxes.

Successful launch, successful mission, and ended with a big kaboom in the water.

Flying in such close formations displays the abilities of the aircraft and the skills of the pilots. It's good public relations and a good recruitment tool.
