Yes, they are incredibly dangerous. Please give me your ASH-25 so that you can live a long life. :-)

I have maybe 500 hours in open ships, there is just nothing like them. They might be slower in the run on a great day than a 15 meter bird, but when you cross mountain ranges they can reach much further or arrive in the lift band. They will stay in the air when nothing else will and perhaps a bit more care is required when flying but the legs and the ability to dolphin fly for miles and miles..... I miss my N4.
