Woah.....just wondering how u can take the shot in it

When I see this cockpit I need to boot up my Flight Simulator 2004 for a flight with the 757

it makes a paycheck for me.....!

I'm dreaming of your occupation ...
But unfortunately only dreaming...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
all it takes is training. you,d probably start out flying smaller planes for a commuter line,or for a lower-cost carrier. have you looked into the possibility of your country,s military,as a starting point?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, it's very difficult to become a pilot here in Germany ... Even at German Airforce...
They only take the best of the best..
And the private way is too much expensive
Maybe it's a bit easier to become pilot in the USA, I don't know..

you might at least look at the BundesLuftwaffe,and see if you can qualify. gotta start somewhere,even if it,s as a groundcrewman.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm.. okay, thanks for the hint.
I might try it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
gotta start somewhere....! but you do look like a very fit,strong young man,and your interest in aviation should help too. it might just be worth a try!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm.. Think you're right.
I should give it a try
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
can,t wait to see you in uniform......and i,m sure they pay fairly good too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it,s a good place to start. BTW,is National Service{military} still mandatory in Germany? the USA did away with it back in 1973,but some countries still have some form of minimum service for young men.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it is.
And that could be the problem...
I didn't want to go there.
So I told my doctor and he did things that I don't have to go there.
Unfortunately I noticed that I could go to military for the air force too late...
At this time I got extempted from military service ...
That's the only problem I see....
I don't think they would take me any more...
I regret it... really...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that is complicated..........!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes...
I think only the private way will work ....
But for that I don't have the money (70,000 Euros or more...)
That's horrible...
Man, I so much regret it...
Really....
Hindsight is easier than foresight....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
70,000????????????? for what? perhaps you should come to the US for at least your PPL,it,s nowhere near that much!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
70,000 for the ATPL I think...
But who has that much money?
And then you got the ATPL and no one garantuees that an airline takes you as a pilot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
many have to take military training,it does cost.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The military was isn't available for me any more..
At least it seems so...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
are you sure? might be worth it to try again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm.. I'm not sure about....
Well, maybe it's worth trying it
Hope it works
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OK,let me know how it went.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep
sure I'll tell you

I have actually fueled the 757. Wings are slow to fuel but that center-tank... damn does it act thirsty!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wing tanks do accept fuel at a slower rate,to prevent possible overpressurization which could cause structural damage.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I still remember sitting there for up to a half-hour waiting for those puppies to load... one of the things I definitely liked about fueling Northwest birds... had a damn good excuse every time the crybaby in the shop yelled for help for a plane not even on the ground yet...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"not even on the ground yet........" yea,some of them are like that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the best part is that I got fired from fueling for kicking this guy in the splits and now ex-coworkers of mine are REALLY wanting to repeat the performance... go fig.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
we,ve all wanted to do something like that now and again!

Why is you sby AI toppled?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry it was my dad, I have no idea what he was going on about, somthing about your horison not being straight even though the computers were booted up
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OK,this pic was taken on the gate with systems already shut down. that explains the AI being "toppled",they spin around when the power is cut off.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Meow. took a sharp eye to notice that one!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
757's are pure power......hardly any other passenger plane has the feeling of raw power on t/o....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
overpowered,like a hot sports car! those Rolls-Royce RB-211 engines on ours could power a widebody just as easily. always good to have plenty of power reserve for any situation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That is so cool. I want to do that! You must be pretty good at math to do that. I barely scraped by at geometry and passed it with a C.

don,t worry,i wasn,t really a Mathematical Wizard either! but i just never gave up.
