Skychief80 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Nerd http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilatus_PC-12 what about that makes it a dream flight you'd give anything in the world to fly kind if aircraft? Did I miss something?No you didn't miss anything. It's just a great flying airplane and my dream job is flying for corporate Part 135 operators in an airplane with a top of the line avionics suite.

skyreaper Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ive seen many a Pilatus and met several of the pilots, they all regard that plane as a wet dream. Seems like a great gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Funny how the grass is always greener on the other side... I fly a citation sovereign (part 91) and dream of flying apaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscott60 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I have wanted to fly two helicopters since before I joined the Army. I have checked both boxes now. My ultimate dream flight would be an F4S Phantom followed by a F18A. I grew up around them with my Dad flying them in the USMC, so I would want to.

brackac Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 A friend of mine will be in one of the Apache's doing the fly over for the Super Bowl. Really doesn't get much cooler than that. http://clarksvillenow.com/local/101st-helicopter-pilots-to-fly-over-the-super-bowl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d10 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Ironically I know one of the 64 and 47 pilots, don't know any of the Hawk guys though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity173 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 One of the Hawk girls was an old student of mine. I think it's her anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BH206L3 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well I would like to fly a Bell 47 G3 b-1, I learned to fly helicopters in one, I would like to fly one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I3uller Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Well I would like to fly a Bell 47 G3 b-1, I learned to fly helicopters in one, I would like to fly one again.The 47 is a strange helicopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BH206L3 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well I am a strange guy, there use to be a lot of them around, now you don't see them around like I use to. Then it would be strange if you learned in something else I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it would be strange if you learned in something else I guess.I learned in a 300CBi and got to fly a 47 for an hour, it was just different. That cyclic is really odd if you've never flown one before with all the control lag and how it doesn't want to come back to center. And in the one I flew the collective would kick back at you when you pushed it down with each rotor going around. Although you can't argue with that thing's height velocity diagram... It autos like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron_si Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Mine would def be an A-10. I saw one down at TLH on a flight down there. Three hawks flew into the airport, and a bunch of civilians were out on the pad looking at the A-10. As we hover taxiid in no one even looked at us. And that is why the A-10 is so cool.
