Wouldnt that be a great idea. Having a EHM acrobatics team. Doing flights online flights together. I think I found a good plane that could be used. Dont remeber the name tought.
Any ideas?

You mean like "Blue Angels" ? Sounds interesting, but hard to accomplish. I think the limitation of on-line connection and flying knowledge would cut this project:[

Nice idea, easier said than done though.

;D

Nice idea but dont think it will work too well with current technological standards
-
Great idea. If i could get online then I would participate. What makes you guys think it will be so hard:%. Would we use a prop plane or a fast jet. Here are my ideas.
Fighter: Mig 29/ f-15 Eagle
Aerobatics plane- Sukhoi Su 26.

What makes you guys think it will be so hard.
I think as the reason is as Robert said the limitation of on-line connection. Acrobatics in general takes a lot of planning and skill. Acrobatics as a team take even more planning, skill and communication. I’m not implying that our pilots aren’t skilled at flying. But another thing is, and I’m sorry if I’m acting like a grumpy old man. But what would be the point of having this team. I served in the Danish Air Force for 10 year (not as a pilot) and have over that period of time been involved in a few air shows. If we where a real airline I could see the point, we could promoted our airline that way. But I can’t see the value of having a team just to do some acrobatics on-line. I mean there must be more to it, then just having a team that did acrobatics on-line. But of course you can always try to sell the idea to the senior management.
And I’m pretty sure that if we where to have such a team, the plan that would used would be from our fleet. I’m rather sure that Maarten and Gergely wouldn’t allow a F-15 or a MIG 29 to enter our fleet, not even for this purpose

Ive done acrodatics in a Baron 58 and it works fine. Dont know if I should really say this but I did quite a few loop the loops to pass the time on my UK tour ;D
Didnt longern my flight time :)

Maybe instead of a team, you could start with a duo or trio and gain some experience before growing to a team.
An original aircraft could be a Fokker 50 or Embraer 170. But if you really want to do Split-S's, Immelmanns and looping then I would suggest the new MB339 'Frecce Tricolori' (seen on simviation.com)
Could someone make a sensational livery for it ?
Also you could organize an airshow online, where normal air traffic is diverted to other airports and where EHM-pilots show their skills in an orderly fashion. (crashes are forbidden :-)
-
For doing stunts I would use the Su 26. At the Sunderland intl airshow, a guy called Will Curtis was flying one and it was capable of 12g positive and 7g negative. That guy most be on somthing:]
-
Yeah must have been on alot of black-outs lol
-
If he did black out most likely he'll be dead already :P
-
I think it's a good Idea. Maybe use air shows to draw future pilots to EH? Or... just for fun. =) The Aermacchi MB-339 that Anvaco mentioned is a good suggestion.
-
And just to throw another shrimp into the pot, the new pilot client for IVAO, IVAP, displays other IVAP users in real time, allowing for full-on aerobatic flying.
It's been used by a number of Dannish pilots (who happen to be IVAO staff members) to do military escort missions...
-
Murray, to ask the obvious, do you or any of the other IVAO staff members, we have at this airline. Have any idea when it will be released?
