T-6 Harvard

[loseth]

Hello everyone.

Last week, I visited Kjeller Airport, and i flew this (with instructor) beautiful T-6 Harvard training airplane. The Harvard was used in training Pilots to fly Spitfire. I flew about 30 mins, holding the stick myself for some minutes, and was taken through loops and rolls. I have been flying simulations since the 90`s, and its good to feel that I have many of the same feeling of flying in the sim. But I do not have the roaring sound of the engine, the amazing feeling of the G power in the loop, and the constant feeling of real flying. Quite an awesome, and breathtaking experience. I shall never forget this. Its me sitting in the cockpit, back seat,  of the plane.

Stilig

hva kostet det?

Hei.

En halvtime med denne maskina koster 5000. De har også en Tiger Moth fra 1929, den halvtimen koster 2500. Usannsynlig artig å kjenne igjen følelsen av å sitte med stikka i hendene, og jeg vil si at feedbacken er ganske like den du får i simmen. Det var jo bare herlig å fly utover Oslofjorden å gjøre noen kunststykker. Flyinstruktøren heter Helge Storflor. Han har 800 timer med Tiger Moth, og sikkert like mye med Harvarden.
