    My friends are always asking if we get to fly F-18s. I have to break out the unfortunate news that we mostly fly single engine pistons and gliders…

    But still it’s flying :)

    @BuranAce what about this beautiful bird? The good ‘ol Cessna 182!

    Lmao, when i was 8 i thought the same thing, I almost removed myself from existence (not really but it felt like it) after my dad told me they flew Cessnas and not 25 million dollar fighter jets.

    I think the A-7D Corsair II is a cool plane.

    Eh, In my opinion the F-8 Looks better.

    XB-70 Is just awesome!

    Which squadron where you in?

    I am at 147 RCACS (my friends in 1725 (our local army cadets Corp) are always bragging how army is better. They say how they get to use C4 (there a engineer corps) so I simply reply: we get to fly!)

    Army cadets act like they are superiors with there C7s and Tanks, just keep in mind we get to fly these awesome things.

    Some people are saying planes they would want to fly. So here:

    The Harvard is such a cool trainer. That engine gives off such a good sound!

    I would also enjoy playing the 737-200. I know the 737-800 pretty well so the 200 is the same just more analog.

    My dad flew on a Harvard once!

    I was at 386 Comox for a year, then helped upgrade a hangar at Campbell River airport for 363 Squadron, of which I was a founding member. This was way back in 85-87, before I moved to Vancouver. 

    I am in 151 Chadburn Squadron, I'm currently an LAC.

    Ah, the good ol' Beaver, I have a few snippets of memory of the many trips I took in that rugged bush plane, flying to and from Sandspit and Tasu between the ages of 3 and 7. And while I never rode in it, the Goose (first flown in 1937!) was a regular visitor to Tasu for the Prince Rupert run.

    The CP-140 Aurora anti-submarine patrol aircraft. Had a good tour of one at CFB Comox back when I was in Air Cadets. Along with the CH-47 Chinook (which also stopped at Tasu for a medevac).

    Isn't that the Comet, which revealed the secrets perils of metal fatigue?

    On the Wet coast, you don't tan, you rust!

    Ah yes, looks like the bird I rode on the Sandspit to RainVancouver leg. With turbojets, no stinkin' fans!

    Wrong Aurora bud.

    Speaking of Cadets, I'm doing the Aerospace course right now. Very fun, we get to use Kerbal a lot :D

  6. Oh, Helicopters Too? i guess ill do some helis and favorite civil planes.

    DC-8, I'm fairly new to it but by the looks of it it seems to be a pretty awesome plane.

    Super Cub! id love to own one some day

    Several redditors have said I should post here. I never knew there was a SuperCub  plane until I chose this username. So here's one of me.: flying

    And heli? tough choice but it has to be  CH-148Cyclone of the Canadian Navy!
