    Might be the odd one out but I thought landing was the easiest step besides takeoff. It’s been 25 years since I’ve flown tho

      Don’t mind me I am being a goober, all my ‘flight time’ iis from DCS and other flight sims.

      You ever see the video of a guy who spawns in a P 51, on an incline, aircraft rolls off a cliff backward, then he does the entire start up sequence while freefalling, pulls the aircraft around such that the nose is now pointing the direction the craft is falling, guns the throttle and pulls up with feet to spare?

      Found that video once on YouTube and have never managed to find it again.

      Flying is the easy part as long as you count not hitting the ground as success.
