[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I went to Sun n Fun today.

Posted: 4/5/2017 5:39:11 PM EDT

It was really interesting.

Two things I learned.

1. I'm too fat to fit in a PA-48
2. Aviation folks are really friendly.

Also, I went to one booth and I think the guy there thought I had aspergers. That was a really weird experience. I think he thought I was going to waste his time, but I wanted to know what they did.

The aspen, piper, mooney and Bose guys were extrememly nice and curteous despite me letting them know I wasnt buying anything.

EAA guys and one of the sim companies were cool too.

I also did some sim flying.

The first flight was fine, take off and land at the same airport.

The second time It's was a straight in to Oshkosh and land on the purple dot, for some reason I let my airspeed get too low and started to sink fast, once I noticed I added full power, and recovered just fine, then landed the plane on the dot, highest landing score of the day lol

I'm laughing at my posts now.

I meant a PA-46, I'm too fat to get into the cockpit of a Malibu.

As far as an enforcer, they had a p-51 with tip tanks, so it could Have very well been one.
