I wouldn't have tried that in a simulator much less real life. Why, why, why, is the question, it makes no sense. Thanks for the look at this accident recreation, I wish I saw this way back when I was a pup pilot and crashed into a mountain.

Have you ever BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY, I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD. WELL . . . YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE. MY NAME IS ALICE, AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA ON THE WALL, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO. COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN? UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QU

Seems the man had a storied career and should be praised for his work. Considering his earlier crashes, one might assume his disappearance might have been a crash also (50-50?) especially with no evidence of being shot down. What were the conditions when he went missing, time of day and so forth. Thanks for this interesting story Frank.

I already let them take my money, I'm a sucker for flight sims.

Sold! Except for the dulling of colors in the Grand Canyon everything looks much improved. or should I say ten times improved. Thanks for the look. One thing I hope they have done is to show a bit of color difference between a mowed grass strip and the non-mowed, in MS2020 it's been all the same with that moving thick half grass, half weedy looking stuff. It has made finding the exact strip a bit tough.

Andrew, thanks for that. I'll look and see if I can upgrade my RAM, although I haven't had a problem yet it's something that we can never have enough of. Whether or not I can do this with this laptop is another question. I would have stuck with the Standard edition, but they smartly put the analog panel on the Cessna 172 in the Deluxe one which tells me it is still a popular choice for flying. I took on the task of learning and being comfortable with the glass panels which are great for IFR flying but those buttons drive me nuts when I just want a relaxing flight. Score one for Asobo.

Andy, I have been flying in MS2020 since its release, like you I find this sim very enjoyable and for all the reasons you have stated above have elevated it to 'The Bees Knees status' above FSX. As sim pilots I think we all fly place to place, we all just do it in different ways. As I do enjoy time and distance flying the most, I have taken full advantage of the advanced avionics in the glass panels for IFR flying. "Toy" you must have mixed me up with someone else. Joe, I was looking at pre-ordering the Deluxe package of MS2024, it's only a hundred bucks and as I enjoy flying closer to th

Is it worth getting if all I do is what I have been doing all along, pick a half decent plane, make myself a flightplan for VFR and don't bother with a GPS. I like to fly visually with a map, always have. Don't much care for career mode and the other stuff they are showing but wouldn't mind a bit better scenery. Any thoughts?

Thanks for another great history lesson Frank, much appreciated. To this day the Australian military has continued to be a great ally to not only the United States but to the continued effort to keeping the world safe. And for things like that to happen it takes the singlemindedness of great men, good men like Mr. Huson Fysh and so many others.

Grounding

Nothing like having a goal and then surpassing it, kudos. Nicely done video Frank, thanks for the look.

Sadley, I have looked at too many of these same situations that ended in the death of pilots and their passengers. They all had those same cascading series of mistakes in thinking. Thanks for the look at avoidable accident that should be a lesson for all.

I had to find the article again because I once had looked into the subject of FAC and CAS when I learned about the British and Australian air force had fought in Palestine. Page four of this Air Power History magazine, https://www.afhistory.org/airpowerhistory/Air_Power_History_2006_winter.pdf Thanks for bringing the visuals on this interesting subject, all our counties continue to improve FAC and CAS to limit innocent casualties. We can only hope that one day cowardly armies will not hide behind innocent civilians and bring that number to zero.
