yes I am not normally into those types of things but I really enjoyed that :ernae:

Wow......Very nice.

I bought the X-15 but got tired of just flopping around till you got sick. Only way to get back down is to slew level and then reduce alt until some gravity and level of control are introduced.
Still flying from Edwards to Groom in 3 minutes is pretty cool.
Thanks for the vid.:icon30:

Is Germany on a black list still? ;)
