Happy 15th Anniversary St. Paul Airlines

Bill, you should have a separate install folder for your FSUIPC with an exe to run it and auto install. It should just install the files over the old ones there, but all the files installed are installed to your flight sim's "Modules" folder.

It is good to make sure you get the latest version of FSUIPC for your simulator.

Here's the site:

Hah yes Robert!

...and many of the pages of code for our website bear your name still!

I never knew the humble beginnings of the site, but after years of pouring over the hundreds of pages of code, I suspected that the site started humbly as a small website before even being migrated to the PostNuke CMS. There's also quite a number of old pages that we've been carrying along in backups that are no longer live. I sent many of the files to Yoland to incorporate into some historical flight plans because so much work went into them. I even found a somewhat "R-rated" version of the pilot's office - but that's another story.

Thanks for helping create SPA, and continuing along so many years!

Perhaps only Mike D. and Yoland are the next longest-serving SPA members.

It's been loads of fun, with personal connections that aren't likely to be made at other larger and more impersonal VA's.

Reflecting on the past year (and years before that) generally offers happy thoughts relative to SPA.

All the best to you and all other SPA pilots in the coming year.

Yes Bill,

Look in your logbook and you'll see your first flight was April, 27, 2004. I'm guessing you started in the spring of 2004 then.

Hub managers can also look at this in VAHQ - choose menu option logbook by pilot and date range. After entering the pilot id, you will then see the same screen the pilots see for logbook review (ie. past 7, 14,30, all) records display options.

Know also that the pilot ID's are consecutive - so you're one of the early ones <img src="tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif" alt="laughing">.
