Flight Sim Adventures

I flew a 737 at 330 knots 20 feet above the ground today!!! Thanks to all the time spent flying (And crashing) the F18, slower jets seem, well, just slow. Flying the aerobatic Extra 300 now (Which used to be one of my faves earlier) seems as if I'm flying it with a 2 tonne concrete block attached to the tail. Kinda makes you wonder how it manages to do loops etc with such a puny engine and hardly any momentum. But then again, the thing weighs a couple of hundred pounds while the F18 is a 23,000 lbs monster! I love flying so much!! Not only is it challenging AND a lot of fun at the same time, it gives your mind a workout once in a while.
