Remember The Dream
 

Come on guys and girls. Why do we complain so much. Watch this and remember the first time...Remember the Dream!!

How about a video of 500 kts inverted on the deck "with your hair on fire." That's a *** dream!:cool:

You got that right, XJ!

That video was amazing.

The next edition of MS FlightSim will be even more realistic, including:
*Crabby passengers
*Junior mans/reschedules
*Last-minute changes to clearances
*Pay cuts and Chapter 11 filings

So much for a thread about the good things about flying...

Don't get me wrong man, I absolutely love flying.
The problem is, "the dream" is just that.

I'd take this "dream" over anything! Getting paid a nice wage to work half the month, travel free in my moving cubicle with transparent walls. You just can't compare this with anything. Of course if it's not for you...SkyHigh might be hiring! He seems to think heavy labor beats sitting on your a** is better.

Cheers-

That must be the new 152 that has De-Ice boots on it.

Bleed Air......:D

Oh, c'mon! who hasn't flown the mighty C152 in moderate clear icing....I have.

It was just snow. But I did see one land once and sheets of ice were falling off the plane.

Here ya go!

That 2nd vid was amazing

You have captured the moment - especially in the second video.

OH man, dorks... that video is hilarious. Who makes stuff like that?

haha I know right, when I saw xjpilot's comment that it made him tear up I was expecting some great REAL LIFE video, but it was MS Flightsim!! Corniest thing I've seen, lol. xjpilot, please tell me you were being sarcastic about crying? :D

Here's another Swiss Air Force low-level-through-the-Alps video...I have the original on my computer, it's actually 15:00 long. Here's the first 9 minutes, though. Some amazing terrain flying and if you're familiar with Switzerland you'll pick out a few familiar landmarks like Lake Luzern, the Aletsch glacier, and the Matterhorn. In the full-length version they fly down the Matterall valley, buzz Zermatt, and then climb the northeast spine of the Matterhorn, clearing Hörnlihutte by maybe 100 feet. Would give my left nut to do that sort of flying....

The military vids are cool but this one is a bit closer to home. A friend of mine made this earlier this year. or maybe it was last year... anyway.

Damn flight sims are getting good. Does anyone know? Was that MS flight sim X?

Gulfstream!

Living the dream, hardcore. Rock on.

best Ive ever seen....gotta love marines.....

Video may be by a Marine, but the song is by a USAF F-16 pilot.

yeah i know, but i still thionk its a great video

Cessna --> king air --> 747. That's how my career went too, yeah. hahah

Haha exactly, I can just see it--XJPILOT sitting there in his new airline uniform, watching this video that his best friend/roomate from college made about all of their "good times" together, and started crying. I have seriously never laughed at a thread on this website before---until now.

XJpilot... you remind me of why I think that the majority of pilots have no life outside of flying. Enjoy your dream XJPILOT.... I'm going to watch football. But before I go---I just found another video on youtube about when you were a boy that'd probably make you cry, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOWt6HvzvsU

So the swiss air force has some nice planes- but does a neutral country have the bullets and missiles to go with them?

Things that make you go.... hmmmm. :D

Would bave been better without that poor excuse for music!

You and SkyHigh should get together.

This guy has issues.

Read his past threads. Positive on AWAC but persistant in insulting other airline crew members. Even made a physical threat in an earlier thread:

" I hope someday you eat your words. Better yet I hope I see you someday and you make it known how you feel in person... that way I'll make you eat your words. "

You should get a life.

I think we should have a thread that has a showdown on here with whos the toughest person on the keyboard then, CaptChris brings a lot of valuable info to the table, just cause he's the Forum Linebacker doesnt make him a monster, cmon look at all the other crazy repsonses people have had on here, some ahve gone postal practically, nice poster though, i was wondering if Drew Carey had a kid...

i forgot to mention that Capt. Chris is a true Professional, if you knew him you would agree...

Hahaha looks more like one of the "To Catch a Predator" people... As for "only insulting other crewmembers"---I've helped 4 people from these forums get jobs... so I don't want to hear it man. I just find it hard to believe that someone can A) Spend time making that video and B) Have a bunch of ASD's who talk about how awesome it is. If I want to post my opinion---I'm free to do it, and you have every right to post some picture about "internet tough guys." Good picture, good joke, I'll laugh.... because thats funny to me. Some take it personally because half of the time what I say hits close to home for them.

That was my intent. And now my inner geek will shine; that probably IS Drew Carey. Look at the boxes of 5 1/4" disks there. That picture is oooold! :D

I have to agree with Capt. Chris on this one. Probably just getting all defensive cause its true. It's cool if you cry watching aviation videos and Peter Pan clips man, denying it is not...

Actually, people like capt (wish he was) chris, use forums like this 'cause no one will listen to them otherwise. Probably feels bashing crewmembers is "cool". "I'm going to watch football"...dude!

Oh ya...not that "crying" isn't "Manly" but bringing a tear to ones' eye, doesn't mean they were "crying". Seee YAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

OK man... you got me. Whatever makes you feel better, either way---crappy video and complete waste of time.
