February 25, 201610 yr comment_20198 God, he must be a pro. How did he keep it out of a spin all that time? Report
February 25, 201610 yr comment_20200 First thought was "he didn't buy the guage pack?" This made me laugh out loud at work in my office.... Report
February 25, 201610 yr comment_20202 First thought was "he didn't buy the guage pack?" Notice he did have the water temp thermometer, though? Remember RoF before they even HAD extra equipment? I never could figure out how they expected you to regulate the temp properly, that way, especially with no physical feedback from the airplane in a computer sim. The magazine for the left gun didn't look like ours, did it? Report
February 25, 201610 yr comment_20203 That was bad ass. I think he's a recent graduate of the BlackFalcon school of aeronautics which would explain why going into a spin was never an issue. Report

I never could figure out how they expected you to regulate the temp properly, that way, especially with no physical feedback from the airplane in a computer sim. The magazine for the left gun didn't look like ours, did it? There was one plane that did not have a compass.... I think it was a Nieuport. Some did not have altimeters, I guess it took a little while to see what was really needed and what wasn't. Report

Some did not have altimeters, I guess it took a little while to see what was really needed and what wasn't. Back then, RoF claimed that that was the way they were delivered to the front !! Report

February 25, 201610 yr comment_20223 I always thought it was fairly accurate but I wish you could hide under the windscreen to avoid it getting on your goggles. And it never really appears on the windscreen itself either. Report
