[@LittleTed2]

What a beautiful day for flying! o7

[@CommandT]

Indeed!!

[@flymachine]

As a designer in aviation I am obsessed with aesthetics and I have my own list of the 5 most beautiful aircraft ever made - the Eagle is top 5 and I’ve felt that way since I first saw her as a little boy. One day I will own one!

[@addictedtopussy69]

okay i'll bite. What is the other four planes?

[@CommandT]

Yeah it’s definitely a bit of a head turner 😃

[@movedon20000]

1:22 is that a a380 casually standing on the parking platform???

[@CommandT]

Yeah there’s always cool stuff there

[@movedon20000]

was that china southern?

[@franciscgedeon9237]

nice weather. winglist: how do you sort price ascending? why isn't it obvious for the user?

[@CommandT]

Filtering and advanced filtering will be implemented in a future Winglist update. There’s a lot of features which are currently missing so not to worry. It’s coming 🙂

[@williamanguiano9347]

What’s your flight sim set up for dcs and how much does it cost?

[@CommandT]

Regarding cost, at this point - no idea. PC hardware prices have changed a lot since I’ve built my rig. Here’s my set up: Trackir 5 HP Z38C 38" Widescreen monitor AMD 3950X OC @ 4.3GHz Nvidia RTX 3090 64GB RAM 2TB M.2 EVO 970 SSD HOTAS FFBeast Base + F/A-18 Grip VPC Rotor TCS Plus Base + VPC Hawk-60 Collective Grip Virpil T-50CM3 Throttle Thrustmaster Pendular Pedals

[@williamanguiano9347]

@@CommandT how much did you get it for at the time?

[@christianjforbes]

I tape my inspection covers. For this very reason

[@aaronhammond7297]

"I think some of its a little bit technical, not particularly interesting"... Technical is interesting.

[@CommandT]

Well some number recording parts are not exactly exciting. But yes I generally do try to include technical stuff 🙂

[@andystocks3252]

Why would a serviceable aircraft break up at VNE!? Every year, every aircraft flying on a Permit to Fly, has to be taken to VNE!

[@CommandT]

Because it was taken to a million pieces before the test flight 😅

[@seamuscashin2606]

i notice you are wearing a parachute the guy in the front has none that says a lot about you my friend bonjoir tolouse

[@CommandT]

If you say so!
