I was just wondering how many days the pilot has to starve himself for to be sure it'll get off the ground Grin

Woohoo!! CriCri!! 8) Cheesy

Don't worry; it was real. If it were a hallucination, it'd be pink, right...? Grin

I like those little planes- thanx for putting a smile on my face after a particularly annoying day! Grin

If I recall correctly it's a Cri-Cri, the smallest aircraft with two engines.

FS9 version right here. http://www.simviation.com/fs2004props17.htm

It's certainly cute & I believe its quite aerobatic. Surprisingly difficult to photograph as it's so tiny. He really did disappear. When I went back a few minutes later to get some decent static shots there was no sign it had ever been there.

PS. In case you're wondering the first shot is genuine & not an edit. I never edit my photos except for a little enhancement if they need it. I just managed a quick snapshot as they flew past in formation without warning.

I didn't see him get out but I'm sure he's a perfectly fit man. The engines being mounted on outriggers gives more room in the fuselage for the pilot's legs, rather like a glider. http://www.cricri.co.uk/
