[color=#000000]If that's what it takes to get you to post on SimV, I hope it's soon. The video of stills was great.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Excellent, Shane....

Some wonderful shots!

I see by 4:59, Time Code, you had released your vice-like grip on the Yoke, (remember; finger-tips only!), and flew hands-off, with the occasional tweak on the Trim Wheel.... ;)....
....just like a real Pro!... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

Well done!

Paul.... :)...!

P.S. ..I thought the Missus had turned down her trip on the plane?

P.P.S...Its always a surprise just how small and delicate the Flight Yoke is...(in a large Aeroplane!).... :o... ;D...!

Good morning all... :)

The main thing is Shane you and your family got to share something important to you.   :)

That was the flight in an aeroplane... ;)

The smiles on everyones face from those wonderful picture you posted shows how successful that flight was.   :)

When the day comes that you have decided about obtaining the priviledge of getting a Recreational or Private Pilots Licence I am sure everyone here will wish you the best of luck.
By the look on your young sons face he might just beat you to that... ;D

You have savoured flight, felt the pulse of a man made piece of equipment challenge Mother Nature and with the help of a professional aviator brought you safely back to terra firma where so very many have not accomplished, enjoyed what you have just experienced.   :)

I envy you as too many of us take for granted, just like driving a car, your past flight.  ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
