Aircraft Poll

My favorite is the Cessna Citation X 😉

I'm going to have to go with the 707. It has 4 engines, can do a barrell role, and it's cool. 😎

Are you serious!? The 707 can do a barrel role? 😳

I don't have the Citation X, but I've seen screenshots of it and I love to fly the Citation X download so I voted for it.

Yea, the 707 can. When boeing made it's first show flight to the public the pilot desided to ad-d a roll to the show. After ward he was explaning to his boss that it was perfectly capable of it and there was no safty risk. It worked.

The Famous Barell Roll, Pilot Tex Johnston, Co-Pilot Jim Gannett and the above photo was taken by Dix Loesch from the observer seat

Do you know what altitude it was done at? I tried it on the sim as soon as I read it and ended up not being able to get far enough over and crashed. I attempted it at 12,000 ft.

I'm not sure? Are you giving it right yoke and left rudder?

Yeah. That is right isn't it? 😕

I prefer cargo aircraft myself, specifically props, but of the four, I definitely prefer the Citation. I still believe the Constellation to be the most beautiful aircraft ever built but the Citation X is up there. Also a reliable aircraft.

What do you think of Burt Rutan's lineup?

I think the best from your list Robbier is the Captain Sim 727 as it's a classic and a really nice hand-flyer....

But I think the best payware add-on by a mile right now is the Level D 767 .... you should put that one on your wish list !

Of course, the PMDG 747 will be released in a few weeks so hopefully that will be even better than the Level D 767 ! 😉
