I've never had a girlfriend and honestly I don't want to get into a relationship until I have a good career and I have my own place and I'm financially sound. Currently still in HS and trying to focus on my future flying career and college, I don't need to be in a relationship this early.
The Boeing 797 is gonna be a 757 replacement. To be honest I think some 757-operating airlines are just purchasing A321neo's and A321LR's as stop-gap measurements until a 757 replacement comes along. I think the 757 is too perfect in it's role to be replaced by Airbus and can it can only have a true successor through Boeing.
Are gyros allowed? My current WIP design is incredibly agile (no TVC!) but it's pretty unstable and the AI doesn't fly it well. I was thinking of adding a gyro to stabilize the flight dynamics of the UCAV (kinda like fly-by-wire) for the AI to fly it better. Would this be ok?
@Roswell
Thanks! I noticed all other fireworks made on SP have been only bottle rockets so I decided to do whistling petes. I also made roman candles (look at the successor of this).
Oh yea, at Paine Field there's Historic Flight Foundation and Flying Heritage Collection which collect/fly warbirds, but the ones I've seen over my house often has been their P-51s, T-28 Trojans, and I've seen them fly their B-25 Mitchell around my area often especially around Father's Day (Historic Flight gives father's day rides in their B-25 and DC-3).
And at Arlington, there's HUNDREDS of Vans RV kit planes, and Glasairs as well (since Glasair is based at KAWO). I saw a guy once in an RV-10 flying low and fast doing circles around my rural neighborhood. Was a pretty cool sight.
I'm about 27 miles north of Paine Field where Boeing produces the 747, 767, 777, and the 787. I'm 50 miles southeast of Whidbey NAS where the USN has EA-18G Growler and P-3 Orion squadrons based at. And I'm about 12 miles west of my nearest airport, Arlington Municipal Airport (KAWO) which is uncontrolled and has mainly general aviation traffic with your occasional commercial aircraft (Bizjets and Ameriflight fly into KAWO some times).
So the aircraft I see almost daily are GA aircraft from Paine Field and Arlington Municipal Airport.
Now since I live right under the ILS approach for runway 16R into Paine Field, I often see Boeing heavies (mostly 787's and 777's) departing and approaching into Paine Field. The departure path is right over my house, same with the arrival/approach path following the ILS. I've seen plenty of 787's and 777's, and all the 767's I've seen so far have been freighters especially for FedEx. I haven't seen many 747's lately and all I've seen have been freighters as well. To be honest the 747 I've seen the most has been the 747 LCF (the large 747 freighter that carriers 787 parts). The An-124 has also visited Paine Field multiple times delivering GE90 engines and I've seen it parked at Paine, but I haven't seen one over my house yet.
Since I live in the vicinity of Whidbey Naval Air Station, I also see Boeing EA-18G Growlers and Lockheed P-3 Orions. I see/hear the Growlers more often than the Orions, at least over my neck of the woods, but I rarely get a visual on them since most of the time they are real high (and hard to spot). The only times I see Growlers visually is when they are flying low approaching Whidbey NAS. But I pretty much here Growlers every week, and they really rumble up the skies. The P-3 Orions are easier to spot but less frequent.
So yea that's the kind of traffic I see over my house. The most rare/unique planes I've seen over my house was the C-5 Galaxy (saw it on approach into Whidbey one morning), the Boeing 747 LCF, V-22 Osprey, and I've seen a Kaman K-max over my house once. Sorry for the long comment

I had discord once, but at some point it wouldn't let me log in anymore even though I had the password and username correct. Nah I'm not interested, I moved on from discord.
@pavthepilot
Yea I'm interested in learning Romanian and Polish. I have to learn Spanish again next year in 11th grade so I can have a 2nd language down to enter college for a 4-year degree. I wouldn't have to take it if I knew Romanian fluently but I don't. :\
You mean the Robinson R44? Sweet. I've only flown on a helicopter once and that was way back on an air tour I think in Las Vegas in a Bell 206 Jetranger III. We were on a roadtrip/vacation going to AZ if I remember correctly, and I was like 6 or 7. It was at a heliport right next to the hotel we stayed at for the night.
@pavthepilot
I don't speak Romanian fluently. I can say or understand a few words and that's it. But both my parents are fluent. I don't use Romanian often enough to really learn it or use it, and I'll forget it. I learned spanish in middle school but since I never used it outside of spanish class, I easily forgot it after spanish class ended for the year.
Awesome! The IAR-80 is indeed a not-so-famous fighter. It was a pretty good front-line fighter. IAR has actually made a lot of designs over the years especially gliders. I'm American (born in the US) but my background is Romanian since my parents were born in Romania.
@Texasfam04
Nope. No time frame. We don't even have any spacecraft in development yet. we're still working on our first design, a UCAV for Mikoyanster's Drone 2 Challenge.
@Texasfam04
The Manta I guess is too large, but it could still be useful for large vehicles or it can serve as a test-article carrier, much like how Boeing had the 747 carrier their Phantom Ray drone for tests.
@logizAircrafts
But why buy A321's when you got a 797 that will be better than both the A321 and the 757??? Waste of money there.
I've never had a girlfriend and honestly I don't want to get into a relationship until I have a good career and I have my own place and I'm financially sound. Currently still in HS and trying to focus on my future flying career and college, I don't need to be in a relationship this early.
+3The biggest question I have though is HOW are you popping wheelies on a cliff and your not dead yet?
The Boeing 797 is gonna be a 757 replacement. To be honest I think some 757-operating airlines are just purchasing A321neo's and A321LR's as stop-gap measurements until a 757 replacement comes along. I think the 757 is too perfect in it's role to be replaced by Airbus and can it can only have a true successor through Boeing.
Rainier Aerospace will be purchasing 2 of these for our Mothership/Launch Vehicle program.

Congrats on 11.2k!
Also, love your profile pic!
NEVER translate welsh...

You should check out the Il-102, that thing is brutal-looking!
@Tully2001
+1Noticed that and remembered seeing that PA-28 on bush tires so I thought this would be kinda funny...
@Tully2001
+1I know lol
The IL-2's ugly son.
@pavthepilot
Thanks
@InternationalAircraftCompany
Lol

Btw never knew this but Boris has a Cessna 172, or at least he knows how to fly (has a pilot's license).
I don't know what's cooler, the car or the mustache...

@JED
The Boeing T-X looks like a mini-Super Hornet with some JAS-39 flare to it.
@JED
The Boeing/Saab T-X is the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet and the Saab JAS-39 Gripen's lovechild lol.
Beautiful! Well done! I hope Boeing wins the T-X competition, love their trainer design.
+1Awesome build, looks pretty similar to the McDonnell XP-67 Moonbat!
+2I don't use the game's nudge tool, I use fine tuner mod instead.
Flat earthers and round earthers are both idiots, the earth is CLEARLY a raptor!!!
+1My name's also Jonathan lol.
Awesome! This is really neat man, your really good at making formations!
This is so awesome dude, well done! Thanks for tagging me!

Thanks for the tag! I'll take it for a spin later on.
Love the new interviews!

@Texasfam04
The best part about SpaceX is that flat earthers can't say "It's the government" in their case because SpaceX is a private company.
@Texasfam04
That would be great.
Congrats on platinum as well!
@Texasfam04
Wow how did I get to 10.4k so fast? I turned 10.3k just a few hours ago.
@Texasfam04
Yea, I love how transparent SpaceX is with the public.
