Interesting.

[Saitek]

That's terrible. I hope he's done for a long time....

[Fozzer]

Blimey, bad news...!

There aren't many of us enthusiastic Cessna 150 pilots left, so we can't afford to loose any... ... ... ...!

...and all you CFS flight simmers out there thought that only you were in constant danger of being shot down... ...!

LOL...!

Paul...re-fitted my Browning machine gun on the cowl...just for added security... ... ...!

Lol Paul.. Would it still be able to fly with a 50-cal on it?

Would it still be able to fly with a 50-cal on it?

That's what I'm asking myself,too.

Well exactly - would it have enough power to get into the air on take-off?
I would advise you remove it Paul - we don't want another pilot lost!

Glad to here everyone is okay. I was kind of surprised that there isnt a charge direclty related to shooting at a plane. It said he was charged with "discharging a weapon at an occupied vehicle resulting in bodily harm" I would have thought there would be a charge like "discharging a weapon at civilian aircraft" or something like that. I guess the laws dont cover that specifically.

He could mean a .30, browning made those too you know

Hi Ben...!

Well it worked fine on my old Spad XVI during the First World War... ...!

The power to weight ratio in my Cessna 150 is feenominal pheenomanil feanominul very good... ... ...!

Paul...chasing the dreaded Hun... ...!

Or what they charged him with is a more serious offence...so that he's in prison longer...
