    Looks and performs great for what it is. Actually I'm not quite sure what it even is with the probes and sondes, but that's cool

    You won't need a degree to fly but, it won't hurt. Though, to fly in the military I am sure you know you do have to have a degree. Most officers hold engineering degrees.
    It's never to early to start learning to fly. Well, in the USA to fly an airplane you have to be 16 to get the license. I worked with a guy who got his at 16, no degree, and now he flies multi engine jets (Commercial Cargo) out of his home state of Indiana.
    As long as you don't fear flying at all, I say to do it. Nothing more peaceful than just riding up high.

    Ha lol, so you worked in the defence force. That’s a pretty cool story. I’m hoping I can get through school and get a bachelors degree in physics and possibly mathematics so that getting my pilot’s licence is easy as pie. I’ve wanted to fly for a while so I’m joining the Royal Australian Air Cadets. Hopefully I get a chance to glide or even go up in a Cessna or Bulldog or something like that. @sheepsblood

    Looks very good and accurate but the take off speed and stall speed are both incredibly high, even with flaps

    Our last ones being used will be phased out in the next 2 years I believe.
    We went from flying them non-stop to only a few hours per plane. The story was that some engineer back in the day made a miscalculation which, they caught somewhere around 2000. That killed our flight hours and that caused all these old birds to sit on the flight line most of the time and sent a bunch to the boneyard.
    We went from having 12 aircraft per squadron to around 3 to 5 at the very most.
    The other weird part was we used to never have enough maintainers. Then they took away all those aircraft and all of a sudden our shop grew. It made no sense. A Mechanic shop of 30 people in total jumped up to 60. Yet, we had 1/4 of the aircraft. People were pretty much either sitting on their butts all day or fighting for the available work. I spent a good amount of time writing up discrepancies so we had work to do. Those engines became SPOTLESS. Not a wrong washer on the beasts. lol

    @AzureCorp Thank you!
    I have taken flying lessons and flown a few single engine Cessna's.
    Airplanes in real life are more forgiving on landings. Not so easy to bounce when you are within the correct parameters. Such as speed, flaps, and AOA. Though, when you bounce in real life, you better add power and pull up. You can and will crash and you don't get to RESTART :) lol

    I was sad to see the P-3 being replaced. Though, they did pick the perfect aircraft for it. The 737 is one safe aircraft. (Minus the 800 max)

    @AzureCorp Sorry, if I disappoint you but, I was not a pilot. I was a gas turbine mechanic and quality assurance. I have flown the P-3 but not takeoff or landings. They don't allow untrained to takeoff or land.
