Nope, close but no Cigar

Try flying downwind in a Boeing at 1500' 210 kts and letting go of the pole for 1 minute and see what happens.

Now try that in an Airbus, hey look it's still where I left it 1 minute ago EVEN after that Turbulence!! Wow.

Nope, it's not flying, its a Computer game

Don't get me wrong, I quite like Airbus, it makes "hand flying" (sic ) quite a lot easier and more accurate.
