Best Regards,

Tomas

I am not sure if it is just me, but when I went onto YouTube to try and look at the video, it said that it was private. Even after logging in I was unable to watch it.

Now I am very curious to see it!!! unsure.gif Any chance that you can make the video on YouTube public??

smooth landings.

I've got both available (some people are quite used to keyboard)- at the moment I'm trying to find out the most convenient assignments for most used commands and for the radio and aircraft essentials I've got labeled panels

forgot to mention - the pricing is $75 per hour and you can use your VATSIM account if you'll give heads up beforehand.

Funny you've mentioned it :-) I was pretty close the first time I went ballistic in a chopper (all those thousands things you wouldn't dare to do in a robbie :-), second time when I did IFR flight in a chopper in stormy weather and the last time yesterday when I was standing inside watching a glider pilot riding a thermal (my head is still spinning :-D ). Everybody else was fine so far (i guess it might have to do something with the style of flying :-D )
