ustaadg, your question is bit confusing to me

What actually you are asking i.e. flew as pax or flew as flight deck crew?

Unfortunately, I am not the second one but you can count me in the first option and i have flew with PK (B707/B720, B733, AB4 & A310), GF (B732 & L1011) & KU (A320, AB6 & A310) number of times....

Same problem here Ustaadg, like raihans said I'm also puzzled regarding the question. Kindly make it more understandable as if you're asking us to have actually flown an airplane as a cockpit crew or as a pax?

ustaadg asked:

He is clearly talking about flying the aircraft as a pilot not travelling as a pssenger

Surely he can't be expecting us all to fly in FS

The answer is, Never. I visit the cockpit almost daily, but just to admire

agree but the initial replies to the thread confused a bit

ustaadg wrote:i meant as a pilot?

thank you for the clarification therefore, in my first reply i already mentioned that you can count me in the list of pax but not the crew.

cpt_747 wrote:Surely he can't be expecting us all to fly in FS

cpt_747, if we are not able to fly in real atleast FS is giving us much joyness not similar as in real but atleast upto self satisfaction

You're a racist

How could you not like Qantas? It's one of the BESTTT Airlines. I call it "the Spirit of Aviation".

Bytheway, the question is if you've flown an aircraft (as a pilot)
