FSX is better

[dudewanarace]

Uhhh.. Having done both, this is not a true statement.

I dont get it how can it burn like 500+ GPH ? like how big are the fuel tanks!!!???? can you only go flying for an hour or so.

[dudewanarace]

Sure you can fly longer than an hour. Just don't keep it at full power the entire time. Not long after takeoff, he pulls it back to about 270 gph.

@rhgrsh There was a guy on pawn stars selling one of these for 150-200 grand.Apparently that is what they are worth these days

[namutatya]

BTW, can you mention the name of the flight school/ company which offers this service ?

Thanks

[FA18one]

@rhgrsh The joy of flying: priceless

[StevieYoungblood]

where can you ride one of these?

[TheABCOLE]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LonghornPhysicist]

@rhgrsh Its not that bad if you have a commercial license and can charge people $2500 for a 1 hour flight and you can get a good number of hours per week. You can even buy the airplane and lease it to people who will fly it for customers and you could actually even make a profit. Or at least break even. :)
