Filed under: Random Thoughts — Gede @ 12:50 pm Years ago, I used to fly. Small Aircraft like the Cessna 152, Cessna 172 and Cessna 182. Most of my flying time I have on the Cessna 182 you see below in this picture:
Its is a skydivers Cessna, the PH-TGC, I have a few hundred hours on this one. Unfortunately, because of all kind of reasons, but mostly me being stubborn, I had to stop dropping people from the sky. I love flying, I still do, but my pilots license is long gone.
Just a few weeks ago I met a client from the Netherlands, and he was a private pilot, and we had some nice pilots stories to share. He knew a lot about the little airports in the Netherlands, the people. So I started dreaming again about soaring in the skies.
It didn’t took long before I ordered a joystick, flight simulator program, and here I am, digitally up in the air, just like before I became a “real” pilot. The internet is a great place to research your self, and there are sill pages about flightsimulator events I joined from 10 years ago. In that time I also made some scenery for flight simulator programs, and they are still online here and there.
Maybe, maybe, one day here in Indonesia, my own float plane here on the beach.. but for now, the Logitech Joystick.. primer closed and locked, master switch on, carburator heat on… Pliot training….
Read here about my tuning of the DC-9 for a flight simulator championship in 1995:
