Flight IRL
Posted by dozer on October 14, 2008After not even 10 dedicated hours of flight experience in the virtual world (e.g. Flight Simulator), I am put to the test of flying a Cesna to and from Utila/La Ceiba. It’s a lot like playing the game except a little bit easier and waaaayyy scarier!! Throughout the duration of both flights the pilot touched nothing except the little switches and knobs, as for the wheel and pedals, I did all the work. My total real life flight time is now 45 minutes.

- “Look Mom, no hands!”

- Approaching Utila Bay Island
-
- “Okay this is the hard part right?”
-
- “Um, you sure you don’t wanna help a little?”
-
- Safe and sound and on the ground!

- flying co-pilot
-
- “Here we go again..”
-
- “Catch the center line”
-
- “Straighten it out and..”
-
- “Perfect!”

- “Right, we’ll wait for you..”
