How many of you have flown real aricraft?

True, although there is the fear factor to take into account as well, I'm pretty confident pulling a 6G diving turn on BOP, not so ballzy in real life though!

Haha, agreed. Although experienced pilots know what they can and can not handle, and by practicing you'll reduce this 'fear factor'. Still, you need balls of steel .

I got a few hundred hours logged on RC aircraft (plane and heli,) but alas I crash them as much as I crash in BOP so I dont buy nitro, just the cheaper electric models.

I've been wondering this myself. I've logged a little over 4000 hours total time. About 900 ours of it is as pilot-in-command and a flight instructor. I am a commercial pilot for an airline and the rest of the time is in the First Officer position. (Hoping to upgrade soon to Captain after the recession). I like to think I know a little bit about how aircraft handle. However, I know there are plenty of ppl on here that know WAY more than I do about aviation history and world war 2 in particular. I find those guys to be pretty interesting.

Another RC pretend pilot here, I have a healthy fear of dieing and if youve seen me fly BoP on Sim you'll understand why that means I wont hold a real joystick.

does RC aircraft count? 1/4-1/3 scale?

Nonsense, you fly very well on BoP. It's giant white goats that you should be afraid of in real life because that is the only reason we die so much in BoP lol.

I'm a full time flight instuctor, about 1300 hrs total time. Wayfindre, what airline do you fly for? I'm trying to get there myself.
