"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... 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. |

If that were the case, I'll bet there would be a waiting line to call up to the FAA medical division, to report about an unstable pilot, that has problems mixing reality with real life. g You never know who might be calling the FAA. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

: I neither respect nor disrespect pilots; why would a person's hobby or occupation have any bearing on whether or not I respect him? It's the person, not the job. 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 phenomenon are not reliable because their experiences don't jibe with your often baseless "theories". 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. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

[...] MX doesn't fawn over anyone. [...] He sees people here as human beings who happen to have a lot of knowledge pertaining to aviation; 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. -- dgs |

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? Dan |

I saw an earlier post from someone who said that flying duo would be OK. Does that mean that I could handle the plane? Dan 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?
