Isaac Niedrauer 947516 Posted June 9, 2006 at 01:51 PM Posted June 9, 2006 at 01:51 PM ZAB is a nice place if you like the desert . As for ATC, it's one of the best ARTCCs in the country. Clear Skies, Isaac Niedrauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Black Posted June 9, 2006 at 03:41 PM Posted June 9, 2006 at 03:41 PM ZAB is sincerely my favorite ARTCC to fly through. I have NEVER had nothing but top notch, professional- yet friendly service from there. I'll be COA4001 tonight Respectfully, Chad Black Click here to see my 12 years worth of Flight Sim Screenshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris 920567 Posted June 9, 2006 at 03:50 PM Posted June 9, 2006 at 03:50 PM Looking forward to seeing some of you folks tonight. Don't forget to swing by Tucson - it's only a half an hour or less from PHX, and I know our controllers would love to handle some outbounds as well as inbounds to PHX. Many real world routes to Tucson go through PHX to increase their p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]enger loads. Why not land in PHX, file for TUS, and make a quick turn around to drop off the remainder of your p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Black Posted June 9, 2006 at 04:14 PM Posted June 9, 2006 at 04:14 PM hehe I just noticed that TGIF has Commercial size planes going into Scottsdale... That would NEVER happen in real life... This will be interesting! Right now they wont even let anything bigger than a G-4 (A G-5 on very rare occasions) land there do to weight restrictions and wing length hazzards.

Lance Williams Posted June 9, 2006 at 06:40 PM Posted June 9, 2006 at 06:40 PM I should qualify that. Yes, Scottsdale doesn't take large aircraft but who said TGIF has them going in there? Certainly not VCA. Thank you, Lance W. Hundreds of Real-World Airlines and Routes for you to fly at www.ndbair.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Morris 920567 Posted June 9, 2006 at 08:27 PM Posted June 9, 2006 at 08:27 PM Sure, they have weight restrictions in real life, and the SDL City Council won't allow any commercial airlines to open up there, but hey! This is FS! Bring on those ERJs and CRJs. If you're talented, you could probably even put down a 737 there. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Clausen Posted June 9, 2006 at 10:51 PM Posted June 9, 2006 at 10:51 PM I've flown a 767 out of SDL on VATSIM before In any case, the SDL was mentioned by Jim as the destination for ExecJet, which is an official TGIF partner (I think?)
