Wakashi Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 ...at least for me! Flying through the Golden Gate Bridge was quite a feat for me too, (crash detection on) keeping under 50-60, full flaps and altitude plus watching the sides for the cables was quite a busy time. Just took me 3 tries! Here's hoping it was worth the effort. If you haven't tried it you should! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed em'.

Sniper31 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Great flying Wakashi! Jack should be proud, although that is most definitely symptoms of being exposed to the Sawyer Effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jack has tried this I don't remember any screens of it, but again my aged mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussieflyer38 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Definitely scary and much skill required, don't think I'll try it, I want to keep my licence. LOL Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well Roger, seems you've got the bug! I think all of these are "Dude approved" and Sawyer recommended! Very good airmanship considering you have crash detection on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Don Thanks Don, as they say, if I can do it anyone can do it, I'm definitely not "qualified" to be doing those kinds of things but after a few hrs of practicing slow flight I thought I would try it. 2 hours ago, New Light said: Cool Thanks New Light! 22 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: Well Roger, seems you've got the bug!

I got the Dude's full approval before attempting it, and I knew it would be Sawyer recommended & that't why we did it! The devil made me do it!!

VH-KDK Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 An excellent show of flying skills to get through such a long narrow space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Great flight Roger! It's amazing how big some of these bridges really are when you get up close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundancer Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Piece of cake.....you should have flown the Tacoma Narrows swinging bridge just before it collapsed ;-) Just kidding of course, smashing shots, but in real life you have to return your license, I guess....

This little 'episode' by Wakashi graduated him onto the Top Ten Violators List of Sawyer Effect offenders. We all know who Numero Uno is (Jack), and Paul has quickly established himself as a strong #2 contender. The rest of the Top Ten offenders have yet to make themselves clearly know, although as stated, Wakashi here is out front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Great shots, Wakashi. And the pro is flying with full flaps... a proof that the virus has now arrived in Oklahoma... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paughco Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Cool! I see Sundancer beat me to it with the "Piece of Cake" reference. Way to go! Way back when, when I was starting out with DC-3 airways, the final checkride included flying a DC-3 through the big dirigible hangar at Moffett Field.

Not sure about the "pro" part but I am an EXPERT - EX being unknown & Spert being a drip under pressure!! And yes, the virus is far reaching! 3 minutes ago, Paughco said: Cool!

Not being a RW pilot, I would prbably be headlines in some newpaper somewhere if I tried to actually fly through a hanger, even a huge dirigible hanger, sounds like fun though!
