That was me. Played FS2, F/A-18 Hornet, Falcon 3.0, tons of others. Always wanted to fly. Finally grew up, made some money, and got a lesson. Turns out I'm terrified of small planes. Then I learned they're roughly as dangerous as motorcycles for a given distance traveled (about 10x the risk of an auto) and gave up the dream for good.
- smackeyacky 5y agoHa. I did exactly the same thing. Took a lesson, was terrified the entire time. I like flying in the bigger stuff but a cessna seems like somebody has thrown a volkswagen beetle into the air. Every time that thing dropped a metre due to turbulence i was glad i went to the toilet beforehand.
- GekkePrutser 5y ago> Volkswagen Beetle Not a bad comparison actually. Between the airframe design era, air-cooling etc it's pretty apt. Fwiw I think the overlap is also because the tech thing. Flying airplanes is a pretty technical hobby so it makes sense it appeals to people like us tech workers
- ppg677 5y agoWow, exactly my experience.
