As someone who rarely flies Military Aircraft anymore, I was hesitant to try the C-97 assuming it would have a complex startup procedure and be heavy on system monitoring that would, for me, take the fun and enjoyment out of flying the Big Bird. I appreciate that there are those who hold to flying by the numbers, monitoring all systems, using proper start procedures and even testing the aircraft for correct in-flight responses/flight dynamics. Supplying feedback to Mjahn will no doubt make the C-97 and any future variants that much better. However I'm also thankful that this Classic Aircraft can be started with one button, taxi's easily and lift's off into the wild blue almost without assistance. I enjoy the presets on the monitor and the ease with which those can be changed to the needed settings as well the ability to see at a glance what the general engine readings are. The C-97 is easy to fly, easy to turn, easy on the eyes and easy to enjoy. Ted's sounds are awesome and add an extra level of authenticity to an already magnificent flying machine. Thanks to Mjahn and the Team for a great, great airplane and I look forward to any future updates, upgrades or new variants in the future.
