Wonder where this baby will show up next . . .

I feel the need, the need for speed! Does anyone recognize the aircraft?

Judging by the airspeed indicator, it appears to be a single engine jet. It is an experimental catagory aircraft also. That's all I can tell.

Some kind of propellor driven craft. Never seen a turn and slip in a jet before.

Experimental maybe?

I think you need a stronger grip on that joystick.

I thought that too until I took flying lessons. You grip the stick like a car steering wheel. Two fingers sometimes.

Is that a trigger on the end of the joystick? Are you in an x-wing?

we have a winner

Nice Jason. You know your planes.

Yup, it's an L39, single engine, twin seat jet trainer (sometimes fighter).

A whole lotta fun.

And no John, in cruise a death grip on the stick is not needed. The death grip is only required for "hard maneuvering."

More of the jet

Here you go Jason -- more of the jet.


I don't have more of the watch alone. I prefer to include it in settings where I think it fits in.
