Oh yeah!

I remember buzzing Meigs in the Extra in my only MSFS multiplayer session back in FS98 days. Boy, that Bell pilot desperately trying to hover was especially peeved... :icon_lol:

oh mine was great, i plotted a nice flight plan for a UK Patrol of the south coast, then over the thames estuary dropped it down, see how far up the thames i could get (i had permission) i then headed back out to sea and engaged autopilot so i could grab a bite to eat, unfortunately i forgot the heading the autopilot had would put me over heathrow at 100ft, likewise i hadn't reset the altitude hold....
