Yesterday, i just had this feeling again.Flying on multiplayer, at an airfield with quite a few others. Jets all over, many 747's and a few A380's. The cold, high pitched tune from them jet engines disturbing the air.
Everyone rushes around in their jets. Big and small.
Then i look around in the cockpit. Switch to outside view. And a smile starts to form. Turning on the systems, and starting the engines one by one. My smile just widens and widens.
I read the chat, and see them complain how they are late on their virtual life system. And bragging about their PMDG planes.
They like the looks of my Connie, but that is where it stops. It's to slow, and it's not big modern jet.
My engines warm up and i get ready to taxi, light on. Ask the tower to get clearence. I Push back, and start to taxi. The engines growling low. I love that low growl. They make me forget about the cold sound of the jet engines around me.
I slowly taxi to the active runway. Some pilot behind me releases his stress in the chat, about that guy infront of him who taxies so slow. I smile and think how mad he will get whan i use a little time prior to takeoff for my final checks.
I get clearence for takeoff, test the engines a final time. Put on the brakes, increase power, all set, all good. Brakes released, max power.
The engines thunder in my ear, a little bit of rudder to leep the plane on the centerline.
V1, .....V2, rotating, as the planes come off, and go on tending to the procedures, my smile stretches to it's max. I feel lucky, happy, and warm of enjoyment, and i slowly dream away. No stress here, Got the time on my side and the prettiest lady in the skies in my hands, slowly dancing on a little turbulence. I'm in love.
Thanks....
