I know Spike's a good guy. It's all in good fun. Thanks Spike, I'll try not to abuse that privilege ;-). Really, the only reason I mentioned your name was that you were one of the few people on here that I could trust to just take it as good-natured ribbing and not get bent out of shape. I...

Well, my ride backed out and the raffle plane had a flat, so I didn't get to go. Maybe next year.

And here I was thinking that it was going to be a picture of Spike at an airport! :D [ducks] (j/k, Spike!)

Fixed that for you... :-D I do think it's an awesome show. I have several episodes backlogged on my DVR at the moment waiting for me to get a chance to watch them.

Very cool Kent! What's the break-even point between taking the DA40 vs. the 182? I.e., the 182 costs less to rent, but is slower and burns more fuel - at what distance does it become more economical to take the DA40?

Not my video.

Texas Fly-In BBQ = NOM!

Troy, I and several others will be there with the raffle plane. I'll be flying right seat in our museum president's plane, N7177G. It's a C172 disguised as a T-41. The raffle plane, N8175B, will be flown by our other raffle pilot.

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this, especially you corporate jet jocks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzM3aaypEYo

My condolences Spike.

As another business traveler, I also like SWA. The people are almost always friendly, service is good, their customer service people are great to work with (read: no change fees), and as an added bonus for me, they actually have some younger and attractive flight attendants! The seat pitch is...

I'll throw my hat in the ring for Pilot Pete's. I've met the Chicago POA'ers there many times. I've never been disappointed. Make sure you order the Irish Nachos - they're off-menu.

I wonder if it will be screened (no pun intended) in Houston any time soon - I'd love to go see it!

You can also purchase it from the gift shop at The 1940 Air Terminal Museum, where we hosted Monika for a screening a few months back. She is a great woman and she made a great film. If you have the chance to see the film and meet her in person, do it!

Finally got connected. Here are the three of us in flight and a shot of Dustin's landing.

There's much more info at http://www.vatsim.net. In short, VATSIM is the Virtual Air Traffic SIMulation. A network of virtual pilots and ATC's who fly together online. To connect FSX, FS9, or XPlane to the VATSIM network, you need to install either the Squawkbox or FSINN add-ons, both of...

STill having issues... don't wait for me. I'll join if I can.

Having problems - Squawkbox has never worked right with FSX on my computer. Keeps locknig up. Very frustrating. Going to reinstall FS9... be on in 30 mins. EDIT: NM - don't have CD here. Trying again.

Just signing on now at KBYY - Cessna 172 - N4285F

Crap! You're right! Oh well... anyone up for VATSIM tonight anyway? I'll probably log on at about 2400z. Will post my callsign here when I get online.
