Hi together,
I am a retired airline pilot with +/- 17000 hrs in my book - 58 years old now and the happiest pal on the planet !
I will never ever touch a stick of a full scale anymore - I am totally happy to spend my time in the hobby room and on our flying field ,
operating models from 250gramms ( DLG) to 22 kg heavy, very fast jets (JMP Firebird )
Modelbuilding and - flying gives me that much more than just sitting and waiting for time passing by in an A340 Airliner - it was boring !
And the young stewardesses nowadays are more interested in their mobiles compared to the old man telling stories of the good old times when flying was something special !
We share the best hobby in the world !
