What others are saying about piloting is like saying Coke tastes best without
having tasted anything else at all. There are many aspects to aviation, just
as there are many aspects to food and drink.

I've never said that simulation is superior to flying a real airplane in a
general sense, although I've indicated that I find it preferable in certain
respects. There isn't any way to prove or disprove that it is generally
superior or inferior, because that determination is purely a matter of
personal taste.


OK, let me rephrase, It would be like you saying anything about the
taste of Coke having never in your life drinking anything but Pepsi.

What about when he asked about the location of the ejection seat activator
on the Beech Baron?


There was a military version of the aircraft. I'm still trying to find out if
it was ever equipped with ejection seats. If not, I presume the ejection seat
was a joke of the model developers. You don't seem to know the answer, but
perhaps someone else does.

I cannot say, since that isn't actually the case.

It isn't. You're arguing with a very small group that don't seem to
like you.

I do, you;'re an idiot and you're wrong.


You're always wrong.

Yes, it is, if you don't include your sock puppets.

For example, ask someone with a fear of flying which is more enjoyable: a
sim
flight or a real flight.


If you insist...

Anthony, which is more enjoyable: a sim flight or a real flight?

Is that like making statements about flying airliners when one has never flown
anything but a single-engined tin-fan prop?
