Maybe.. landings were a bit challenging at times? ;D
But seriously, I had to leave early for the usual reasons..

Thanks Ysop for the great planning ! But …

… this has a catch - there are no sheeps in FlightGear ! :mrgreen:

Because I've flown with you both on many occasions I feel comfortable enough saying the plural of sheep is also sheep (English has sooo many exceptions and I wish my German and French was even 10% of your English level)

Oh, very true....that is really 6th grader stuff! Thanks for the reminder!

And every bit helps fighting against autocorrection-dementia.

Is it the The Texan T6 Ysop? I had a quick go yesterday and the one from the standard FG hangar seems under-powered unless it's pilot error (which it could be!)

The pc9/pc7/T6ii we have used recently. Plenty of power. Not the old taildragger.

And don't worry, if not worked through the papers.

And it's definitely the one called Texan in the normal fg hangar? It struggles to get to 200kts unless decending and yes, I did check speed brakes and gear :)

Cannot check currently, but it is part of the Pilatus PC9 package.

Looks like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beechcraft_T-6_Texan_II
