Great shots, everyone !

I'm hoping Santa will bring MSFS2024 early next year, especially now that MS has delegated the release of many new 'features' to the new platform.
This waiting without a sim is more painful than getting a root canal, lol !

I haven't seen many pics of the Black Square TBM 850 ? :confusion:
 
I spent a fair number of hours flying in one of those going to and from Oil & Gas production platforms. In the early 1980"s we still had a number of Vietnam vets flying those things. You could always tell he was a vet by the way he would takeoff from the platform. Younger pilots would hover a couple feet off the deck then using as much deck space possible to accelerate. Not the old Army vets. They would climb a couple feet the fly off the deck then fly off the edge of the platform, and drop like a rock until getting enough speed to climb out and fly off into the sun set.

Robin Aircraft No More...

I read today a French court ordered the liquidation of Robin aircraft. General aviation loses another iconic manufacturer. :frown-new:

What a shame. My first solo was in a Robin HR-200 (G-BCCO) at Sywell on November 23rd, 1975..... Wait a minute... What a co-incidence, that was 48 years ago TODAY!!!!!!! - Kenneth (See MSFS recreation below!!)

Some late fall flying in the Messerschmitt over Danville, Illinois (where the real aircraft was restored and has been based/flown). Getting very near the 25-hr inspection point now.
