Welcome Me!! ^_^

It's just the jealous side of you Ryan, it's alright!

[Jetsgo]

Lol, ok ok, it's cool to be able to say that you've floan an F-18 jet, you win that one Brad! But common', you've floan both, you have to
admit, you like the 737 better don't you! I guess it all really depends though. But then again, have you ever seen a luxe private F-18? I don't
think so! Try the Boeing 737 Business Jet by Netjets!

Mehh... I'm still not convinced that the F-18's are attractive

UGLY!!

[SWAFO]

You'd be convinced they're good aircraft when you're catapulted off the deck of a carrier in one! The F-18 had positive things and negative
things about it. Same with the 737. Each has a different role, and they're both EXCELLENT aircraft for their active roles. That goes for
every aircraft I've ever flown!

F-22's are Wimpy!!!!! one f-22 could take out 4 f-15's with out them even knowing it was there , oh with ordnance well maybe but...
The f-22 is more of an air superiority fighter not really for moving mud

yeah all the weapons are stored internally for stealth reasons it carries like 8 missiles I think

[Jetsgo]

Have you ever heard of the Avro Arrow? It was a Canadian fighter jet in the 1958 only 6 were made, and 3 in various stages of
production at the time, and it cost over 13 billion dollars for only 6 (soon to be 9) aircraft. In the middle of it being a new scientific break
through, the Canadian Government very suddenly, with no warning, ordered that all of the Avro Arrow's fleet be completly destroyed, along
with the blue prints and basicly any record of the plane ever existing being burned or destroyed. No really knows why the Canadian
Government all the sudden did this, some think that it was because 13 billion dollars, in 1958, was ALOT of money. Some blame it on
poor planning in regards to the cost of the project, but when actually the government never confirmed why the world changing project was
ordered to be canceled.

The planes were designed to attack Soviets comming from the North Pole, attacking North America. They were at the time the fastest
planes in the world, to bad there were only 6! The only thing left is a cockpit of the Avro Arrow, I saw it at the Ottawa Museam of Aviation.

Had the Avro Arrow still existed, and the F-18 was in use in 1958, there would have been some serious compitition here! Take a look:

Alright, you've got your opinion, and I've got mine. I'm speaking from a former military pilots position. Most of my buddies in MC Aviation
(some which are still active), have the same opinion of the F-22, and the F-35... sure, stealth has it's advantages, but when it comes
down to it I want to be able to blow sh*t up!

You're right, Jetsgo.

But best sources also say that this great Arrow was trashed because of the Americans, who convinced Diffenbaker (the Prime Minister)
that the missiles made aircrafts obsolete...

It was not true... But maybe the Americans didn't want the Canada to build this powerful aircraft and selling it to the world...

This bright team was dismantle. Most of them was recruited by two other teams:

The Nasa
and

guess... the Concorde (clearly from the same family!!!)

I hesitate to recommend this product due to some folks having support issues, slow coming patches, and a few bugs, but the most detailed Airbus product by far is here:

http://www.simsoftworkshop.com

Even with its shortcomings, I still really enjoy flying it when I need a break from Boeing (not often). The company is said to be working on an A320.
SimHQ.com did a 5 part comparison a few months ago, Boeing vs. Airbus. Part1 reviews the A310.

Thanks! Especially that 320 sounds good. Hope it will be released soon....

I've never been a big fan of Airbus for no apparent reason. I guess I just grew up knowing Boeings and have kinda stuck with that. Obviously tho, given the chance, i'd fly either. In fact, i'd fly any bucket of bolts anybody was willing to put me behind the wheel of

I have visa card but my wife steal this from me so I can't buy!! She won't agree I spend money for game hehe.
>_<

Welcome here my friend!!

That's a little bit far from London. Im glad you love A320. I love it, I am big supporter of this aircraf. Love all its series. from the A318 to the
A340-600 I don't really like Beluga Transporter,
Why don't you try http://www.phoenix-simulations.co.uk

They've got the best panels (on my opinion) for fs9

Have lots of fun and welcome to the new flight simulation world of fsp!!

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend staying away from all Airbus products (whether they be simulated in FS9, or real world airliners). Why not
try out a fine 737 package? There is a good 737 and 747 available at http://www.precisionmanuals.com. I'm hoping for a -3/4/500 series 737
to be released, but for now I'll continue to fly the NG Probably my favorite version of the 737 in reality any way (the -700).

Maybe FeelThere will want me as a Beta Tester for their 737. We can only hope

BRAD SHUT UPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You and your Boeings, wow, do you buy stocks for boeing or what??

Im just laughing at it right now, As soon as I read what our new friend wrote I thought about you and, suddenly, four posts later I found your message
promoting Boeing !!!! You are the best Brad

[SWAFO]

Actually, I don't own any Boeing stock. Lots of SWA stock though!

yeah I should probably shut my mouth your the former military pilot.

Anyway why did you quit flying in the military and go to the 737?
