    Ha! Ya I've been in the pattern with that thing as well.. wake turbulence much? :laugh:

    Where are you controlling at? I was Army ATC in a former life and got an elusive radar approach control rating at Ft Huachuca before I got out... got out with horrible timing I might add as the FAA back then was in hiring freeze mode... so my dream of being a CPC went away

    It was fun for me the freedom of the desert shooting an wheeling all you want. What more to ask for that's when I made my last truck what it was. I was in the a/c at work so didn't mid it to much haha.

    I've not yet flown on an aircraft with the geared turbofans. Can you tell any difference? Supposed to be way more quiet.

    Yes, it's a pretty new design on the motor. Been some problems with them at start up. LH started using the 320neo with them early last year.
