WOW, look at how many posts Greekman72 has made! He's only been here a few months too. 😀
LooooooL.....
Well you missed the party of 1k my friend my-pilot but maybe there some juice(you are a young man)left...
We have celebrate for a load of 1k of garbages... 
There is no meaning to numbers my friend.The meaning is these posts to be constitutional.And i ensure you that the majority of mine arent such kind... 😉
Nice sig. I love that plane.
There is no meaning to numbers my friend
That's exactly what I've been trying to tell my math teacher!!! 😂

Just busy with everything.
School specially, right? It's good for you to study and learn new things.
By the way, math is the best subject! 😀

Yes it is! 😎 It's the only subject that I don't get bored when studying it.
The others were bored to me.

Some parts of maths isn't too bad I suppose.
I hate algebra though, especially when you have to do those equstion things like this:
11p - 6a = 6a + 3p.

That comes out to 8p = 12a
p = 12
a = 8
11(12) - 6( 8 ) = 6( 8 ) + 3(12)
132 - 48 = 48 + 36
84 = 84
Where's my prize?

Maths is the science of numbers.Who was the one that mixed them with letters 
❓ ❓ ❓ ..... ❓
Yeah you would't think it would have letters but it does. ❓
Sorry, no prize for you Chris 😂
Good work though!
I HATE ALGEBRA it's evil
I'll have to agree with you on that Liono! 😂

To answer your question Greekman, it was my student Albert E..
A word, if I may to all of you who 'hate' maths. Maths, like so many other "things" in life are concepts of our mind. Ergo, if you 'hate' maths you hate yourself. (So much for a wholesome lifestyle).
Besides, hating anything that is not human is absolutely futile because it cannot hate you back in return. (Not that I condone hating humans either). I deem it a cowardly act to hate something that cannot defend itself.
...and that's all I have to say to that.
Oh, one more thing... have you haters of maths ever wondered where our beloved aviation would be today without MATHS ❓ ❓ ❓
Does 'dislike' maths sound better Tailhook?
It is not that I can't do maths, as I am resonably good at it, I just dislike it, that all.

My compliments Jarred, you're a thinker - dislike is appropriate and humane. If you dislike someone for example you're not likely to go and put an end to his life. -- And as most of us probably have experienced, dislike can be turned into like with a little effort.
To turn hatred into love on the other hand is a gargantuan task - unfortunately in most cases left unaccomplished.
Any topic/subject - including maths - can be comprehended in an enjoyable way if presented in the right context and by a capable tutor.
Happy landings,
Rick 😀

Well said Tailhook. 👍
To answer your question Greekman, it was my student Albert E..
Well my friend Tailhook i was made a rhetorical question and i know that you get it... 😉
About my ungle 😉 which ,with much surprize, i figure out that he was your student,with all the respect to his great offer to humanity,he was not the one that add the letters in maths.
We must run back many many years to Find Pithagoras(Proud 😉 for my ancient ancestor)and especially Babilonians and Egypts in order to discover the roots of Algebra. 
Although i agree with you and with others about this very useful science.We have to admit ,even if we deslike, that civilazation development is based on maths.
I know you'll forgive me for testing your alertness. Of course, Pythagoras was the early giant of mathematics.
This is a true story which occured a few years ago:
While waiting for a bus, a man approached with a book tucked under his arm to join the cue. After the mandatory nod of acknowledgement and to initiate a bit of small talk I asked: "Good book?" The stranger answered: "The best. It's my textbook - I'm off to see my teacher." He let me copy the title of the book and I had hardly finished when his bus arrived. On boarding the bus he turned to me and said: "You're a number 9."
Those were the only words spoken between the stranger and me - and I never saw him again.
I bought the book the very same day and buried myself in it. I found that I was indeed a number 9.
Let's not argue about believe, superstition, hocus-pocus and what not - that's irrelevant in this case. The point in question is "how did this stranger know that I was a number nine by just looking at me??" 😳'
I still have the book : ISBN: 0-914918-10-9
So what has all of this got to do with the price of a decent motherboard you might ask?
Well, you'll just have to read it. Of course, Pythagoras was the inspiration for this great work.
---------------------------Omnia in numeris sita sunt.---------------------------
What was number 9?Maybe i miss something form the meaning of your dialog

I don't hate maths just algebra maths I can do. Pithagoras & Trig I can just get my head around. I understand the importance of math in aviation but my chances of ever becoming a airline pilot and using maths is very slime.
As we're on the sublect of math how many of us use calculators here? And how many use the must powerfull calculator around (our brain)?

According to this Pythagorean science every individual is ruled by a number. There are only 9 numbers.
Let's say your birthday is on the 12th day of the 7th month of the year 1978.
You would add up 12 + 7 + 1978 or to be more precise:
1 + 2 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 8 = 35
As in this Pythagorean system there are only 9 numbers there can only be 1 digit instead of 2. '35' being a two digit number we have to convert it into a one digit value by adding up 3 + 5 which will give us the number 8.
So if your birthday is July 12, 1978 - you are a number 8.
Of course this is only the tip of the iceberg. I would however like to draw your attention to one of several peculiarities regarding the number nine.
Take the above example: 1 + 2 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 8 = 35 ergo 3 + 5=8
Now do the same thing but omit the number 9 : 1 + 2 + 7 + 1 + 7 + 8 = 26... now to arrive at a single digit add up 2 + 6 and surprise surprise : 8!!
Another one:
1x9= 9
2x9= 18 -- 1+8=9
3x9= 27 -- 2+7=9
4x9= 36 -- 3+6=9
5x9= 45 -- 4+5=9
6x9= 54 -- 5+4=9
7x9= 63 -- 6+3=9
8x9= 72 -- 7+2=9
9x9= 81 -- 8+1=9
10x9= 90 -- 9+0=9
11x9= 99 -- 9+9=18 -- 1+8=9
12x9=108 -- 1+0+8=9
...you get the drift. Now let's be courageous - take any number you wish and multiply it by 9 - how about... 28741 x 9 = 258669. Let's do the adding up: 2 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 9 = 36 --- 3 + 6 = 9.
This is merely a glimpse into the pythagorean mind. Err... who said maths is boring?? 😀
WooooooW.... 
Excellent kind of infromation ❗ Exciting ❗
Thank you very much Tailhook. 
BTW im number 3.
Your number nine seems to be the center of the universe. 😉
You are Atlas.... 😉

I have a whole chapter here on the number 3 but for brevity's sake I will only mention the keywords: expansive, sociable, dramatic, communicative, diversified, creative.
Not a bad testament to a man who has a tendency to smash plates for no apparent reason whatsoever
Atlas - I do feel like Atlas in times of despair like we all do - I don't seem to find the connection with the number 9 however... how about dropping a hint my honoured friend from Hellas?
PS: I like this board - no danger of going off topic and being reprimanded by the thought police haha...

No way... 😉 
Get a litle in trouble to search it... 😉
PS: I like this board - no danger of going off topic and being reprimanded by the thought police haha...
So do I... 😂 Who can ever thought that my-pilots gently post would turn to a scientist topic about maths,parapsychology,ancient history and who knows what else...Its very interesting to jump from the one point to another just from a simple spark... ❗
This is the glory of humans mind... ❗
That was an interesting reading! 😀
Rick, what can you tell me about the number 4?
The number 9 was always my favorite number, really. I like that number. 😉
EDIT: Chris, how did you get that a=8 and p=12?
You can't find A and P with only one equation. You need two equations to find out A and P.
So in 11p - 6a = 6a + 3p the final answer would be 8p=12a. You can make it simpler by giving 2p = 3a as a final answer.

I subsituted 8 for A and 12 for P.
I solved it as a "Guess & Check Problem" 😉
When you have 8p = 12a you can't do anything else. That's the final answer. To solve this
11(12) - 6( 8 ) = 6( 8 ) + 3(12)
132 - 48 = 48 + 36
84 = 84
you need 8p = 12a and another equation. Then do the system of equations.

Sorry Agus , I almost missed this one... ...how does one rid oneself of trivial pursuits such as work, sleep, sustenance and the like???
The number 4 - as in Greekman's case (wait till I get my hands on him!), I will only quote the keywords: form, work, order, practicality, construction, stability, endurance, discipline.
There you have it. As mentioned earlier, if you want a more in depth analysis all you have to do is take the ISBN number to your local bookshop or library and the friendly staff will be too happy to assist you.
All will be revealed... ...ooouuuhh 😳 
But don't worry - science is scary only to those with the wrong mindset 😉
Hey Tailhook can you please check your glass ball about the weather between LGAV - LGIO cause i plant a real time flight with my Howard this afternoon and i want to know the adrenalin level of my passengers.... 😉
LGIO?? Your destination seems a bit too close for comfort to the national border - unless you're on the run or are involved in 'people smuggling' - anyway - none of my bussiness.
The weather report is ready to be posted to you... there's just this tiny little problem, you see 
It's been almost twenty-four hours that you've left me in the lurch like a blind man in the desert looking for the connection between Atlas and the number 9. I don't deserve this kind of treatment and my glass ball has run out of batteries.
So... what's it gonna be - the 'connection' for the 'weather report' 
or... you flying virtually blind toward your dubious destination 
And please... don't even try and remind me of poor old Tantalus to justify you torturing me
🙂) 🙂) 🙂)
Well i prefer torture you like Gods do to Prometheus....Im not accept the exchange you offer
I prefer fly and ...arghhhhhhhhhh.....instead of give you the solution...
Altough im impressed cause a genius(and i mean it seriously ❗ )like you dont see the obvious...except if you havent a pic of Atlas holding the earth... 😉
Sorry to disappoint you Greekman - but to apply the Prometheus torture to me would be of no avail and you're just wasting your time. You see, when I was a baby, my mother accidentally dropped me into a huuuuge barell of Retsina and I was only found after I had drunk all of its contents.
As a result the gods took pity on me and let me continue living without a liver. Effectively you would be torturing the eagle instead of me - because it would simply starve to death!! - ...and don't forget that Hercules will shortly arrive on the scene and then you will be in real trouble
So... 
...why won't you send me a pic of Atlas holding the earth?? 
No i wont... and i wont cause with this nice history you just releated, i have to recall the compellation Atlas and give you a new one which is the correct one...
OBELIX...
So i must find now if there is a connection between number 9 and this great guy... 😉 😂
Anyway i have to wait about 2 weeks for get an answer for Oprah...so be patient my friend... 😉
Okay, have it your way - I'll find the answer in the end. 
But don't come begging and asking me how I knew that you are a Gemini according to the Zodiac system without you ever having told me your date of birth.
Connection between number 9 and Obelix? Here you can learn from me my friend... Obelix and I where drinking buddies long before the Romans foolishly decided to pay a visit to Gaulle... the rest is history.
Oprah... grrr - I always knew the woman was trouble 
Gemini...???Who...???Me...???Nooooooo.....Wrong.... ❗ ❗ ❗
I think that women in your life gets you in big troubles.... 😉

Sorry for getting in between your nicely conversation, but I want to say to Rick thank you for that information 😀
Don't apologise for butting into this 'conversation' Agus, this is after all the Off Topic Forum. The way I read it, it's meant to take our minds off the very serious bussiness of simming.
In short - going OT means going OT ...right??
Nothing wrong with a little bit of fun and in my opinion anybody should feel free to join and say what they wanna say... err... 🤔 ...as long as it's 'off topic' --- does this make sense? 🍅
Sorry for getting in between your nicely conversation, but I want to say to Rick thank you for that information
You dont have to be sorry about nothing Captain Agus ❗ .I have to agree with dear Tailhook to all what he states in the post above. 😉
Maybe i give him a Credit cause he is a good writter... 😉
Ok, thanks 😉
You are right Rick about the Off Topic Forum, and I agree.
Well, guys in a few minutes I'm leaving to Spain for some vacations. Will be back on sunday. I'll catch you later 😀

I arrived from my vacations 2 hours ago. It was great. I went to a little old town called Gredos near Viana do Bolo to visit my old uncle from my mother's side. I went there three or four times and I pretty like that place. It's a very old town, but peacefull.
Here's some pictures I have. One thing, I didn't take those pictures. It was my sister.
http://photobucket.com/albums/v444/Agus0404/Gredos/
In this small town, only a very few people live there. 98% of them are old people, but they are very friendly.
I stayed at an hotel in Viana do Bolo, which is a bigger city. It's not that old as Gredos.
Enjoy the pics!
GREAT...AWESOME 👏 👏 👏
Excellent shots Captain Agus 👍
These sceneries and buildings reminds me a lot my parents mountainous birthplace.
Thanks a lot 😉
You're welcome Greekman! 😉 I have more pictures stored in my computer. I didn't post them all because I have 4 folders each containing like 200 pictures. But I can post some more if you want.
It will be a plesure for me and i think for the others too.Wait for more responces and then upload some more of them. 😉
Agus, you can tell your sister that she is a very talented photographer. These are the most beautiful photographs I have seen for a long time.
I have one question - where is Viana do Bolo - what province? If you can upload more pics, please do. These are vacations you will remember for the rest of your life. Thanks for sharing these images! 👏
I will post more pics later. I promise 😉
Rick, my sister likes so much photography. She has lots of artistic and picturesque pictures in her files. She even was the photographer of IMUN (Iberian Model United Nations) 😳 at school.
Viana do Bolo is located in Ourense, Galicia.
And finally, thanks for the nice comments. 😉
Here you go! More pictures for you guys. It's the same album but with more pictures 😉
http://photobucket.com/albums/v444/Agus0404/Gredos/?sc=1
A320 and A340-600 action coming soon 😛
Excellent...Great...one by one. 👏 👏 👏
Very nice job and i could guess from a good camera. ❗
Congratulations to your sister and million thanks to you Captain Agus for these peaceful and colorful moments you gave us.
Thanks a lot my friend. 
Thanks Greekman for your comments! That place is entirely peacefull. You don't hear the noise of the cars, horns, helicopters, airplanes, etc. The only noises you can hear are the footsteps, flooding water, the wind, and people talking, of course.
You give us icons...now you give us audio too....the only thing is missing is smells... 😉 😉 😉
The smells are very good too. No trash around, so it always smells good. They keep the trash in trash cans and those trash cans are kept in a very small and abandoned house.
The past days it rained there so the grass was wet, and during the night you could smell the grass, the plants, and straw.
My friend Captain Agus you describe them so well and you remind me so much my lovely parents birthplace.... 🙂 😉
Thank you Greekman 😉
Just downloaded the new set of pics. They are so beautiful... you know you can tell by the crisp colors how clean the air must be.
The one for us 'aviation fans' Agus - my eyesight isn't what it used to be but I have no doubt that you managed to identify the a/c 😳
I take it it was one of the Airbus family???
my eyesight isn't what it used to be
Well well well....Allow me to doubt about it my friend...Even your eyes starts to get tired cause of age your mind eyes is sharper more than others...and this is more important... ❗ ❗ ❗
By the way...from respect for your age i could help you avoid somethings that maybe tired you and cause you problems...so i offer my self to you to share the load of CZJ and Avasta which you have keep them for yourself... Its obvious that this load is too much for you... 🙂) 🙂) 🙂)
🍻
It's time for you to check your eyesight Greekman, because I'm coming to get you
This can hardly be called a pre-dawn raid - seeing that it's about 11:00 hrs.
Just call it... Tailhook on the prowl... ...or - the Vulture is circling 
LooooooL
Put your hands down from the one of the seven miracles of world my friend...Its forbidden and im sitting somewhere around with my flak gun... 
Anyway i see a very nice screenshot there.Great Job my friend. 😉

Neither you or me knows that. I can be right or wrong. It's way to hard to tell which aircraft was that at that altitude.
And thanks for your comments 😀
