willedoo Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Just to introduce myself, I'm 56, male & just an armchair pilot & military collector . I fly as a commercial passenger about twice a month to get to work, used to have a fear of flying in past years, but cured that by getting into flight sims, now I love the real thing. My main interest is military & historic aircraft & Russian military planes. Main goal at present is to save the money to go to Zhukovsky & go for a joyflight in a Flanker if the body is fit enough. Although I have heard that people who are short, overweight & have high blood pressure handle the G forces better, so maybe there's hope for us old blokes yet.
Guest Chainsaw Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Gday mate and welcome from another ol codger. The Flanker sure is a good bird but I'd prefer a ride in a Bear.
Pete777 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Welcome, I haven't seen any Russian military wander in to MEL -yet, but I will keep a eye out for you, though we did have an Antonov AN124-100 : RA-82078, come in yesterday afternoon. We are had A32-349 RAAF - Beech King Air 350 in a couple of times.
