The 2009 edition of the LinuxTag has been concluded and the Flightgear hangar was there full of aircraft and pilots ! You could easily spot our stand since it seemed to me the most popular one, the idea to take a free virtual flight coupled with a free flight instructor was like honey for bears. Furthermore the hardware was impressive, 2 flight stations with 3 big monitors each and real leverage were worth a try ! You could even track your flight through a projected mapserver on the wall.<br/>. We flew mostly around the [[Frankfurt|EDDF]] area, where a well done airport (still with a high fps rate) was the background of our participants. The favorite aircraft was the [[SenecaII|Piper_PA34-200T_Seneca_II ]] as it was perfect to be flown with out equipment, in the forward station was easy to see some [[Eurocopter Bo105|Eurocopter_Bo105]] pilot or [[F-14 Tomcat|Grumman_F-14_Tomcat]] top gun enjoying [[carrier|Aircraft_carrier]] approaches
