Thanks for the link to the tutorial, Tony - but it doesn't answer my question :roll: Which of the two aircraft in your screenshot was the recorded one? Are you saying that the drogues on the recorded aircraft will deploy when you extend them on the flown aircraft? Sorry - haven't had time to try it for myself, yet. I'm still doing the bloody housework :lol:

Ah! Tony, Tony - if only it were that easy :worried:

The present Mrs Speedbird is the third incumbent of that revered title and the one thing I've learnt from the two that I ....er.... got rid of.... is that they are all exactly the same as soon as the honeymoon is over. At least the dear little thing is 20 years my junior and the only viable alternatives are all grandmothers :-( She did make it clear to me that she didn't do housework and she certainly hasn't disappointed in that area! Still, I've only got the utility room, the staircase and cleaning the cat shit off the lawn and I'm done :worried: Believe me, it's far more pleasant than another divorce. (Or is it? :think: )

Anyway, back to AAR. I think reversing your drogue onto a probe is NOT the sport of kings, but the sport of badgers :lol: You scoundrel!

Ian :lol:

She doesn't cook, either! But I do a superb roast beef and yorkshires. Remember ... I am First Class BOAC and BA trained! I don't need women - I choose them ;-)

After dinner, I'm only good for putting the world to rights over a glass of VSOP. I would expect to have downed a decent bottle of Bordeaux by then and would only be good for my opinion on current affairs. And as for "coming around with duty frees", I shouldn't have to remind you, dear boy, you that I was "management" and I delegated anything grubby (like cash) to my crew :bandit:

Ian :)

Thank you!

Forgive me if this is a dumb question - but where does everyone here fly online?Is there a CBFS server?
