Garry Morris 920567 Posted October 20, 2008 at 12:58 PM Posted October 20, 2008 at 12:58 PM I think I saw you guys down there on VatSpy while I was flying a route for FSEconomy up above you in Canada. Looked like a nice scrum of planes down there. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Fonville 1067630 Posted November 30, 2008 at 02:48 AM Posted November 30, 2008 at 02:48 AM I know how everyone feels about someone bringing up an "old" thread........ BUT.... I feel I must encourage other folks to join us on the next flight. I flew the leg today (my first with the group) from KPGA-KGCN. A great flight through the Grand Canyon and some great airmanship from the 8 pilots (I think that was the number) in attendance. Tower came online as we got close to KGCN and did a great job handling all our approaches as another pilot did circuits in the Wright Flyer (among other aircraft types). Flying at FL360 is fun, but doing the VFR thing at 6500 in a small group is so much more fun, especially with the Teamspeak server to communicate when not on ATC frequency. I would really encourage everyone to join us next Saturday (location TBA). I'm the first person for to advocate for 'realism', but I had more fun today than in a long time. After landing, I jumped in a helicopter and headed back North on a search and rescue mission for a downed pilot (he had too much fun buzzing the Colorado River and couldn't climb out.) About 4 other guys joined me in heli's and all of a sudden we had a helicopter group flight (HOW OFTEN DOES THAT HAPPEN on VATSIM??? After locating our missing pilot, we headed back to GCN and several folks continued VFR ops in the area for a good 3 hours afterwards. Hope to see you next week!

Mark Wheeler 983770 Posted November 30, 2008 at 03:05 PM Posted November 30, 2008 at 03:05 PM Whew that was indeed a LOT of VFR tragets for that airspace! Saw all of you guys inbound to GCN on Vatspy so I had to plug in. Very well done! Mark ZLA Rated V-3/I-11/S-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Hueneburg 1062056 Posted November 30, 2008 at 05:49 PM Posted November 30, 2008 at 05:49 PM Hi, Indeed! Unfortunately we were waiting for some late pilots and later on recovering a crashed buddy. Sorry again for confusing Teamspeak with the tower freq. and almost buzzing your control zone. Apparently that U-turn on the border made some more confusion. Don't forget to check the sceenshots Mike and I posted in the screenshot forum. cu Join us in #vatsim @ irc.quakenet.org - the IRC chat for every VATsimmer.

Maksim Nemkov 907595 Posted December 5, 2008 at 06:38 PM Author Posted December 5, 2008 at 06:38 PM Will be glad to see you guys! Looks like tomorrow is gonna be a little unusual flight. The weather reports are not looking so good, so most likely we'll have to fly IFR! How about making some IFR approaches in small planes in the clouds, uh? It's a lot of fun too, believe me!

Wayne Conrad 989233 Posted December 6, 2008 at 06:34 PM Posted December 6, 2008 at 06:34 PM It looks like an IFR departure, maybe cancel enroute. Kenosa is forecast to be windy as heck, modified VFR. Rather than the suggested IFR route: BULLY V216 SQUIB I'm planning on filing: V216 PETTY V7 TALOR, 8000 For two reasons: First, a /U or /A aircraft can't navigate direct BULLY. Second, it's tidier if the route ends in a feeder or IAF for an instrument approach. ZLA Pilot Certs make your eyes bright, your teeth white, and childbirth a pleasure. Get yours today!
