every pilot does this, that way you have space on both sides of the runway in case something happens and you're NOT close to the edge of the runway. You learn this in your first couple of lessons when getting your private license.

Yes, I know.

I like when you get to the point that you can "see" where the nose wheel is without actually seeing and can track it accordingly. Visualizing the tracking. Works great both on the ground and in the air.

I remember when I was working on my instrument rating, my instructor had me do a simulated 0/0 takeoff. Wearing foggles from brake release to pattern altitude using only the DG and AI was a little unnerving but he said I tracked right down the centerline.

That plane had the weirdest weapons system, the bomb was part of the centerline external fuel tank. Chances were good that if you dropped a bomb on downtown Moscow you weren't coming home because you just dropped your gas tank on them too.

Were the fuzzy dice Navy issue?

That's an Airbus A380, they had serious engine fire issues, but I can't tell if that's real

It's not. Completely CGI, probably game footage. See the flames pouring out of the FRONT of the inboard starboard engine?

I just stumbled on this, and my first thought was, 'I wonder how many of this bunch has been to Oshkosh?' I spent every summer there when I was a teen. I loved talking to pilots of different craft. (But as a teen girl, I was realistic and only flirted with the CAPpies.)

I don't believe it is real.

Time for some JetA1

One wheel too many.

Been there several times, started when I was 17, too.
