I'll ride anything
Does Microsoft Flight Simulator Gold Edition with the Acceleration Expansion Pack count?? I always wanted to fly. Actually started taking lessons about two weeks before the Arab oil embargo, couldn't afford to continue. Friend of mine used to work on the F-14 simulator at Oceana Navy base. I would come in when he worked mid-shift and log some hours. Of the real actual flying machines I have flown there was the SNJ (War birds), Steerman, Schweizer Model 300C helicopter, and of course the ever popular Cessna 172. Except for the SNJ all were orientation flights, no take offs or landing just flying around for 30 minutes to an hour wishing I had continued taking the course. My wife buys me the flights for my birthday. I've been up in the Schweizer 4 times now. Was able to hold a controlled hover on my first try (thanks to Microsoft Flight Simulator). Funny thing, I had a different instructor for each flight and by the fourth flight I was doing so well the instructor asked how long I had been flying, I looked at my watch and said at the end of this flight it will be four hours, he was impressed. Maybe I should have continued taking lessons but the family was growing and college isnÔÇÖt cheap so I take my introductory flights and am happy with the experience.
