snip - more nonsense

Funny, if all that is true, that the only person receiving that kind of
response is Anthony.

If those pilots were responding out of a sence of insecurity or immaturity,
why don't they respond every one else the same way.

Geez, what a puzzle.

You never know who might be calling the FAA.

You have repeatedly expressed disdain for pilots and "our social club". You
claim that your sim experiences are equavalent to piloting a physical
aircraft without being able or willing to "prove it" - to yourself or others.
Instead you expect others to "prove you wrong". You have expressed that
people on this newsgroup who bear witness to certain actual events and
phenomenon are not reliable because their experiences don't jibe with your
often baseless "theories". You claim that anyone who answers your questions
is just a "self-appointed expert", even if they have credentials -- which you
have said mean nothing to you. Yet you have appointed yourself the expert at
filtering out the truth from the garbage.

And you don't even see the very hypocricy of your own statements and
sentiments.

No. I have expressed reservations concerning "pilots" who seem to be more
interested in the treehouse-club mentality than in aviation itself.

You claim that your sim experiences are equavalent to piloting a physical
aircraft without being able or willing to "prove it" - to yourself or others.


No. I claim that many aspects of simulation are identical or nearly identical
to real-world flight ... and as far as I know (and have been told), this is
true.

Instead you expect others to "prove you wrong".


I expect others to substantiate their assertions with reasoning, facts, or
both.

You have expressed that
people on this newsgroup who bear witness to certain actual events and

No, I've asserted that people on USENET are unreliable, period.

You claim that anyone who answers your questions is just a "self-appointed
expert", even if they have credentials -- which you have said mean nothing
to you.


Unless they can substantiate their assertions, this is true.

Yet you have appointed yourself the expert at filtering out the truth
from the garbage.


I've never claimed to be an expert.

Sounds like 80lbs. test from here.

Um, no. Anthony doesn't see people here. To him, they are nothing more
than names on a screen.

Converting what are in reality living, breathing people to abstract
things ... that's not seeing people as human beings. Anthony has more
respect for names on a piece of paper (aka "the literature") than he
has for the names on a screen who post here.

I promise you folks with the little knowledge I have, I will not
question you.. Just here for the learning experience.

But if your intent is to gain knowledge about aviation or aviation lore,
or
even some some other non-aviation things that interest pilots, or you just
want to hear some good pilot stories, you've come to the right place, even
if you are not a pilot.



I do enjoy the pilot stories a lot. I get on the sim and try and recreate
them.

The only rt for me except for commercial was in Maine near Bar Harbor. I got
up in a glider a few times. It was such a beautiful and incredible
experience for me. The second time up he asked it I wanted to do some rolls.
Of course.. WOW!!

Like I said, Because of physical limitations, I would never be able to get a
license. I saw an earlier post from someone who said that flying duo would
be OK. Does that mean that I could handle the plane?

Yes. Any instructor, or pilot for that matter, can allow you to handle the
controls during a flight.
I would suggest you go out to the nearest airport and simply ask for a
demonstration flight. Any CFI can do this for you and allow you all the
access you desire in handling the aircraft. A physical limitation might deny
you a medical, but you can take all the dual instruction you want to without
a medical. You just can't solo.
In fact, in theory anyway, it is actually possible for you to become the
finest pilot in the world while doing it all with an instructor with you in
the airplane. As long as that CFI is in there with you, he is pilot in
command, but you can do all the flying your limitations will allow. The
instructor will decide where these limits are.
Were you flying with me, and you could handle the airplane, I see no reason
whatsoever that would deny you the experience of handling the aircraft from
takeoff through landing; in other words, as long as I or some other
instructor is in there with you and you can cut it, the airplane can be
yours.
Of course I have no idea just how bad your physical limitation might be. I'm
assuming what you are discussing might be enough to deny you a medical, but
not enough to actually keep you physically from flying the airplane.
With me, or any instructor who is any good at all, our only rule is that we
won't allow you to kill us or bend the airplane...that's it!! Aside from
that, it's yours to handle, so why not give it a go??? There might be no
reason at all why you can't enjoy the beauties of flight and come back here
on the group as a contributor with answers as well as questions :-))
How's THIS for something to think about?
