Worldflight 2010

11 days to go before the start of Wordlflight 10th anniversary!

I don't know how but I was persuaded that my 737 could do it this year so............

Well, you can always come and fly my 727.  You might not make it across the pond, but we can reconfigure for fuel and pax. We'll get you there!

Hey Ralph and Simfest guys.. look forward to seeing you in the skies. Gary and Mark saw the light and dttched the 777 for the 737   ... lol... but great that your sim could jump in this year Ralph !

We're also madly trying to get ready (team Aust 737 that is) altho it seems to be getting easier every year now.. crew, systems etc all set and organised. But will the sim hold out .... ?.... 

But ah, that's World Flight !  Look forward to the mayhem from Nov.01

Hi guys,
the Austrian team is also ready to rumble!
"Austria", not Australia, we have no kangaroos and no crocodiles here
Our website (for the ones, who understand german):

... and we are optimistic, that the sim makes it around the world ...
CU in the skies!

Flights are booked to the UK to join Ralph and his crews to do some flying. Looking forward to participate in World Flight this year. Should have some reports in this and the FDS Forum while there.

And I look forward to adding a little Aussie flavour to Ralph's soiree.    Hope to be there on the Wednesday.

Cheers,

Ken.

Well, you hopefully will be adding in a Learjet 45 or two to the mix soon. I plan to fly some legs of the trip this year, but we will see how it materializes. Im hoping next year I can fly a lot more of it with some fellow builders, even if it's in a 737 sim :-)

Good to see Steve C. getting involved too! Go Steve! Nic, good on ya for putting the 737 into the mix, especially since Simantha is such a workhorse already. I still am floored each and every time I watch the promo video at http://simsation.com.au/site/flights-and-gifts/gift-certificates. That commercial is as good as it gets! But ya got to make one for the ladies- that one may make all the wives reconsider letting their husbands have  a go on the 737! :-)

Good luck to all the teams. Cant wait till I can do a large marjority of it one day. Just have to add in a few more stops for an LJ45....maybe I should remove a pax seat and add a fuel cell?     :-)

[Emesis]

Yeah Eric, that's a good idea, maybe some of us poor little 'ol LJ45 builders will have a go at it one day, with a few unscheduled stops. 
But it would be cool if we could get involved somehow.

Some buddy's and I have been flying it since I downloaded the Worldflight map on 9/3. We started at EKCH (dont know why we started there) but we are now parked at FYWH heading to FACT this weekend. Had to cheat in a few places due to fuel consumption and time constraints but overall it's been fun.
Got about 12 more stops to make and we'll be done.

Anyway Eric I think it might be something to check into next year to see if we can join the fun.

Cheers,
Rand

Oh and the commercial, all I can say is WOW! What was that commercial about anyway?

I don't know how but I was persuaded that my 737 could do it this year so............

What happened to the 777 in the garage in Camberley?  Is it being rebuilt as a 737?

I enjoyed my visit to see the 777 in action at last year's Simfest.  Where is your 737 located Ralph - I'm thinking of a jumpseat purchase again
