Planes

There is a thread for trains, but why not planes/airports?

I like aviation myself, and IAD is my main airport (bad as some parts of it are).

VS is my favorite airline (as of now)

I'm working in aircraft maintenance.
Last week we had the delivery of our latest and at the same time our 45th anniversary Boeing 747-8.

It got a very special livery.

In my city's airport, 2 airplanes frequently land at the same time.

Definitely a passion for aviation here. Very big FSX/P3D fan. So many great addons for both

I am also a aviation enthusiast so you can imagine how I felt when a couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be working on a Air Base ( as a civilian ) and never got boring watching FA-18s and C-17s coming and going .
But the biggest thrill I got was when I was considerably younger having the incredible privilege of being allowed to "walk" through , read crouch as I'm over 6ft (187m) a Lancaster bomber and it got better as the aircraft was being air tested this is something I've never forgotten .
Most of my childhood was spent aircraft modelling ( Airfix) much to my late mother's annoyance as she was always having to duck under the hanging models and my late father and I would spend many a wet and cold ( not unusual in the UK ) day making models and I could always count on his knowledge as he was in the war serving in the RAF on bombers in SEATO .
Since I started using computers however this changed to playing aviation games on them starting with F15 strike eagle ( 80's graphics ) then going onto FS9 up to FSX then it started getting expensive and the deathblow came when it was abandoned by Micro$oft and never felt going back now I'm using this great game.

In aviation, I like aerobatics. https://youtu.be/K8r1DdU9AME

Especially blood run cold from the figure run on 1:50 - 2:05 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8bLMjLQKoQ
