Thanks Smitty! Sorry to leave you hanging, as I've not yet finished the 80-wreck ATW Tour, but wanted to get posted what was available. I'll have to dig in and finish what I've started there, as I was also flying along that tour for quite some time. I'll post when I get updates to the tour. Thanks for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed it...thus far.

Bravo on the ATW in 80 Wrecks Tour. I've completed many ATW's and this one is at the top of the List. Not only do you visit many locations never visited in other tours, but the length of the legs allows you to dust off some of the hanger queens and blow the carbon out of the pipes of many under flown A/C in your fleet. Great tour! Flying in P3D and XP12.

I'm just saying I would be exhausted making an 18 or an 16 hour flight. There may have been an error in clock calculations but, either way, he deserves an award for flying for that many hours without stopping to rest or refuel.

It appears to have been a 16.6 hour flight. He was flying a C-117D from OKBK to EGLL. I'm not sure how fast he flew. Do you think there is an error in the flight hour calculation? It happens sometimes when the 2400 clock switches, but I thought it should now go off of the local computer time. However, if you pause your flight for some time and then finish the flight, it likely includes all of that time as flight time. That needs to be fixed

I see that Paul flew for 18 straight hours on Christmas. Man, that's one LONG flight.

Was wondering if anyone saw what I think I saw last night. Just caught a glimpse of it but, kinda looked like a great, big ol' buggy being pulled through the air by about 10-12 Texas Longhorns and the lead steer had this bright red strobe light flashin' on it's nose?

jer029 - 09/27/2022 - 13:39

Fixed it James, thanks for letting me know.

Computer made double entry on my last flight; I only flew the one flight from KMSP to KDFW. Correct if possible please;

MY MISTAKE. Does show as landed. I forgot to make type aircraft a CRJ700 instead of the Airbus 318; 40 lashes for me and disregard previous message.

kc643 - 09/22/2022 - 20:27

My recent flight from KSEA to KRNO does not show as landed but, no big deal. I did get an email showing the flight had been completed. Wondering is the stats were included in the activity table??

kc643 - 09/16/2022 - 23:15

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend.

No problem James. I was just wondering if you have never flown in a group flight before, you may want to check it out for something different than solo flying. We're pretty informal here. We want everyone to have a good time, that`s the bottom line.

kc643 - 08/23/2022 - 16:11

I'll look into it and see if I can shake a Weds. free.

airhogg - 08/22/2022 - 18:12

James, have you flown in a group flight before? Would be nice to talk to you in person while enjoying a flight with your fellow pilots. If you would like to, show up at flight time, and anyone of us will be glad to help you get started. Check Wed Group Flt post for info.

kc643 - 08/22/2022 - 16:59

well, let's be thankful the Good Lord has let us enjoy this small thing in our twilight years; pushing 80 myself (smile)

airhogg - 08/21/2022 - 22:17

I hear you. I`m over 70 myself, that`s one thing that doesn`t slow down...time!

kc643 - 08/21/2022 - 19:40

Thank you. I really enjoy flying on SPA Virtual. I really helps me pass the time in my old age.

airhogg - 08/21/2022 - 17:34

Congrats KC643 on joining the 2000hrs club. John and I, we use to fly with some pilots from Texas a long time ago on another VA. We had a good time flying together on our Wed group flight. Very nice fellas.
