Would going forwards age you? if so, you would be dead before getting to where you wanted. it appears Astronaughts age slightly less when in space.
If you are advancing time I would have thought your age would advance accordingly.

Well if we are going to be picky time travel is not possible anyhow.
To time travel requires exceeding the speed of light and as the speed of light is a constant, exceeding it is not possible and therefore neither is time travel.

14:20 Spitfire, Lancaster and Hurricane low level over Yateley. Looked like they were forming up after a display. Would be interested to find out where they were displaying as the only close airfield is Blackbush.
Hurricane went off on it’s own. Anyone know where it was going?
16:10 possibly a Flamant over Wokingham. Anyone confirm this is what it was? Certainly a medium sized, twin engined, twin tailplane with large dihedral aircraft.

What’s the story of the Wellington turret?

Can we go forward in time?
Going back in time will just spoil the nostalgia when you realise the Battle of Britain, Dambusters raid etc are actually quite booring to view live (bit like meeting you heroes and realising the same).
So I would go forward in time 10’000 years to see what has changed. What new scientific developments have happened. How the 1900’s are perceived. What aircraft are flying. What fuels have been developed. How many wars have happened. Does man still exist?
Yes, lots more possibilities going forward, nothing new going back.

I used to avidly watch F1 but now I just find it boring.
Seems whoever starts in front ends in front in what has become a technical fest of perfection.

I run FSX on a Win7 32 or 64 bit system without issues.
You need a minimum of a quad core and a 500meg grafix card.
The logbook bug has a tool which fixes the problem available from http://www.flightsim.com files section
Runs fine on my system with VFR scenery and quality sliders about half way.
I was there in October 2010 and there were around 4000 aircraft there plus around 400 in surrounding scrapyards. They seem to process aircraft very quickly now. Once the US or allied forces stop using a type they scrap the majority very quickly. On our visit we were told the F-111’s were going to be scraped shortly after as the RAAF were retiring theirs.
They seem to save a few of each type for museums, there were a few F-14’s and C141’s left on our visit. I would say it is the number 1 must visit for any military enthusiast, plus the museum is awesome. They do two daily 90min tours from the museum of the base. There are also several local flying schools who will do photo flights.
Why do the C5’s have their elevators removed?
Do any of the aircraft ever get returned to flight for military or other purposes? Seems a waste of time if all they do is mothball, store then scrap. Why not just scrap?
p.s. there is a tv series called “Earth after man” where they hypothsise about what would happen to the planet if humans were removed. One episode focuses on Davis Monthan and the aircraft. Did you know the aircraft are periodically repositioned because of the effects of weather. The biggest threat to the aircraft survival is from the ground upwards. Plants would engulf and strangle them.
Are the Salt Lake Treaty B52’s still there?
Aren’t WW2 self sealing tanks metal surrounded by layers of rubber?
So, what does a WW2 Spitfire wing fuel tank look like, made of? (just out of interest).
