You're not any sort of pilot. You're not even competent to fly a paper
airplane.

What sort of pilot are you then?


Mxsmanic, aka Anthony Atkielski, isn't any sort of pilot. He has deluded
himself that playing with Microsoft Flight Simulator and VATSIM has
qualified him to fly multiple airplanes and be an expert on ATC
communication. He doesn't understand the difference between simulation,
especially that of a game, and the real world of aviation. Nonetheless,
Anthony doesn't hesitate to dispenses his inane adivce to airline pilots,
long time flight instructors, fighter pilots, and ATC personnel, among
others.

The camera on the A380 tail was one of the development problems. The camera's
fibre optic cable was about a foot too short. It was in a documentary made about
the construction.



Brilliant engineering. It makes one feel very safe.


No kidding. If they can screw up such basic stuff, it makes you wonder
about the really technical stuff.

Who cares what you think? You don't fly or travel, sim-boi.


He flies just as much as Chilly8 and his dad Proggie

I'm not currently not a plant pot either, but I appreciate the attempt
at humour.
