Hello from Queensland

[willedoo]

Just to introduce myself, I'm 56, male & just an armchair pilot & military collector . I fly as a commercial passenger about twice a month to get to work, used to have a fear of flying in past years, but cured that by getting into flight sims, now I love the real thing. My main interest is military & historic aircraft & Russian military planes. Main goal at present is to save the money to go to Zhukovsky & go for a joyflight in a Flanker if the body is fit enough. Although I have heard that people who are short, overweight & have high blood pressure handle the G forces better, so maybe there's hope for us old blokes yet.

Gday mate and welcome from another ol codger.

 

The Flanker sure is a good bird but I'd prefer a ride in a Bear.

Welcome,

 

I haven't seen any Russian military wander in to MEL -yet, but I will keep a eye out for you, though we did have an Antonov AN124-100 : RA-82078, come in yesterday afternoon. We are had A32-349 RAAF - Beech King Air 350 in a couple of times.
